Help Huawei y320 won't accept charge

The phone ran down and shut down itself as my charger came unplugged and now won't fire up.
When the charger's connected it cycles the start up sequence but can't complete as battery's too flat. I can force it to complete by holding the start button down, but I get 'connect your charger' message and 'phone will shut down in 30 seconds' as soon it completes. The screen shuts down in 5 seconds and the phone in 30 as not enough battery to keep the screen showing. The phone then goes back to cycling the partial start up sequence while charger's connected. While the screen is up, the charge icon shows charging and battery charge of 1%. Battery was quite fine before this.
I removed the battery for a few hours to see if there was some sort of internal charge causing it. Also tried other charge cables.

Any ideas?
