Discussion:
Not Powering Up After Dead Battery

I gave a Bil-jax ESP19. The switch was left on and the batteries went completely dead to the point where the charger couldn't sense enough power to kick on and start charging.

So I did what I thought was the smart thing and took the tray off of the bottom and charged the batteries separately enough to trigger the automatic charger to kick in which it did and the batteries charged fully.

The issue is, now the thing doesn't want to work. It acts as though there's a safety switch tripped or something the same way it does if the door is open on the charger cord storage box. There's no power to the joystick at the platform, but the batteries are showing full charge back at the panel next to the cutoff switch. Anyone have any ideas?? Or know the location or how to temporarily bypass some other safety switch that might be preventing it from powering up??

I would connect a known good battery source. When 4 packs fully discharge, its rare for them to come back to life

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
