When a battery remains unused for an extended period, it can experience issues such as not charging.
Draining during storage
Sometimes, batteries can self-discharge over time, especially during long periods of storage.
If your battery was left unused for several months, it might have drained significantly.
Discharged battery
If you stored the battery while it was discharged, it may struggle to charge.
It is essential to ensure that the battery is at least partially charged before storing it for an extended period of time.
Wet storage
If the battery was stored in a wet environment, it could lead to issues with charging. Moisture can damage the battery cells and affect their performance.
High humidity
Storing the battery in a highly humid room can also impact its ability to charge properly.
