Right, it originally had a true capacitor but it was a faulty design and now the OEM part is a LiOn battery. The LiOn has many times the capacity of the original capacitor. Switching back to the capacitor will not help anything. As said, the weakness of the LiOn version is it will die and not recharge if allowed to discharge completely.
That candle charger setup should do the trick; I haven't used one personally but it's been recommended before. Positioning, IDK - I think the way you have it should be okay, IIRC the "hot spot" to get the charger close to is the lower left when viewed from the back; it's where the coils are. Maybe others have laid it on its side?
There's way TMI on the subject on this thread; induction chargers are also discussed a bit further in:
TB Capacitor vs. rechargeable battery - useless knowledge
(@cacatman perhaps the link above would be of interest to your "library"?)
