What the thread found
- A V-mount battery that shows only a blinking meter light and fails to power equipment may recover after extended charging periods of two days or longer.
- V-mount batteries left unused for extended periods without charging may enter a deeply discharged state that requires prolonged recharging to restore functionality.
Depends on
- The exact cause of the recovery was not determined.
- The battery was approximately four years old at the time of the issue.
- The solution worked in one reported case and may not apply to all similar symptoms.
- No information provided about whether battery capacity or lifespan was affected after recovery.
