I agree that it appears to be a contactor assembly issue.
1. What was the condition of the tips before you replaced them ? Pitted?
2. What is the conditon of the battery - quite often if the battery is not up to full voltage this can cause excessive amp draw thru the contactor and tips resulting in sticking tips due to excessive arcing.
