That is odd. Did you try pressing the reset button? I would test all
the AA's, perhaps you have a bad one in the bunch (or more than one).
As for the contacts, no you don't need them. They are only for
rechargeable packs to tell the Newt that it is a rechargeable pack and
to read the battery temp.
I would also try pressing the reset button to see if that helps.
