If it is a motor problem,a change in current draw will show up.
I wonder what different batteries and connectors reveal.
ps
That is an increase in current due to sticky bearings.
You haven’t scooted wd40 inside the motor? If not,then don’t.
Coupling them to another motor or drill will run in the bearings.
