Some types of rechargeable batteries (lithium?) will simply "die" if not charged regularly. Often NOS batteries that have been sitting for a period of time long since have drained and are unable to hold a charge or perhaps at very low levels.
IIRC advice for rechargeable devices is to periodically drain them down, then recharge but do not allow them to remain in charger long after they've been fully powered. Have two NOS First Alert flashlights that simply will not hold a charge, period. Haven't bothered buying NOS batteries because they haven't been produced in >15 or so years so likely also are dead and won't come back to life. Best advice is to purchase batteries from sellers guaranteeing *fresh* stock. That is the things will take and hold a charge or your money is refunded. | ||

Laundress is right. New old stock batteries can die on the shelf while waiting to be sold and never hold a proper charge again. One possible way around this would be to take your old battery to Batteries Plus and see if they can build a new one for you. Many people don’t realize that they offer this service but they built a new battery for my twenty year old Niterider Nighthawk headlamp and did an outstanding job. It’s well worth a try.

"Get rid of the Roomba and get a better Robot" Doesn't matter which brand you go for these days, they're all tarred with the same brush... and built of solid Chinesium to boot... | ||
