The batteries inside Roombas are NiMH...meaning they can only go through so many cycles before losing the capability to charge altogether. You can try discharging the battery completely (hook it up to a 12v light until it won't light anymore), recharging if fully then discharge it completely again...do this a few times and it might bring some life back to the batteries
I hit enter to soon on my solution. The battery should last several hundred charges, but you can get a new one herehttp://www.totalvac.com/roomba_irobot_ba...
Make sure the Roomba is on the charger and the charging light is on. You can try a new battery and at least you could narrow the problem down.

It is odd that you have two Roombas that don't hold a charge. A Roomba battery

The battery is finally shot. Time to get a replacement.
