Default Is this battery problems or charger or phone?

So one day, I was left at my friend's house without my normal, Sidekick Charger.
My friend had an HTC Sense charger and it seemed to fit my Sidekick, and without thinking twice, I used it for the night.
My phone charged ti 100% and I unplugged it and used it throughout the next day.
It died and I tried charging it with my normal charger and it would randomly stop charging and continue charging and then stop and repeat.
It's gotten worse the past week to the point I can only charge it halfway at night.
I'm running on the new GOV32 if that helps.
And I'm using the normal Samsung charger. And my phone is only about a year and a half old.
So my question is, what's causing the problem? The phone itself, the charger, or the battery?
I'd like to know.. cause school is coming soon and I don't wanna be that loser not using an Android.. Especially in a technology academy!

Chargers have given me this problem before. Get a new one, worth the piece of mind and investment its relatively cheap as well.

Weird. Take out the battery and hold the power button for 10 seconds and try it again. (This is known as power draining)
