Pack Dead After Storage? Troubleshooter

Packs slowly drain in storage. Some go too low to recover safely.

Never try to force-charge a deeply flat lithium pack. Work through one question at a time. You can go back or start over whenever you like.

Safety: this troubleshooter is general information. Follow your battery and tool maker's instructions. Don't open a pack or a mains-powered charger, bypass a protection board or force-charge a rejected pack.
