Sometimes when a battery is inactive for a long period of time, the cells inside become dormant and need to be "jump-started". We recommend that you cycle charge the battery by fully discharging the battery and then completely recharging it (repeat this 3-times). This should recondition the battery and bring it back to normal operational status. Also purchase your batteries manufactured by a quality manufacturer like mcVolt.
