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
