Sometimes when te stock batery is discharged to far. The charger doesn't recongnise it. What you have to do is get a 9v batery and put some wires on it. Then give it a quick touch to the stock battery so it forces some current in it. Only touch it 1 seccond or so. Then try to charge it again.

| I read about the 9v trick in another thread b4 i went Lipo. It worked great for me. 2 short lengths of wire or paper clips a 9 volt and about 3 seconds. the stock charger worked fine after that. |
