Only lasts 2 minutes before they start to beep and shortly after go "scratchy" and fade out.
indicator light on appears red when on the recharger base

This condition is usually caused by a battery that has been charged too much or incorrectly. It has developed a memory and now can only hold a very small charge. I believe it is time for new batteries!
