Nope, never charged while the battery was in the ski. I always took the battery out and charged it in the garage.
I had a weird issue once where I connected the battery immediately after charging, the ski wouldn't start or do anything when I attached the lanyard. I checked the battery and it was close to 14 volts, the static voltage of a healthy battery is 12.5 volts. I disconnected it and let it settle down for a while, then connected it and everything was fine.
It sounds like the same issue I had but for you it hasn't returned to normal. It's like it needs to reset or something. You need the beeper to be working reliably so in advanced diagnostics mode it can tell you more of what's going on.
