Battery only worked one time and is now badUpdated 2 years ago
If your battery won't charge after working fine the first time it might be damaged.
Your battery could be damaged due to the following reasons:
1) Not fully charging the battery - even the first time out of the box, or even if you only used it a little.
Because the final part of the charging process balances the voltage between cells inside the battery- not fully charging it each time (even if you only used it a little) can over drain one or more of the cells inside the battery pack, permanently damaging it. You do not have to fully discharge before charging - see this article: https://support.swiftpaws.com/en-US/recharge-lipo-battery-before-fully-discharging---yes-73708
