Talentcell won't recharge

Used it quite a bit from 2019 to mid 2023. Then let it sit. Maybe used it a couple times for recharging iPhones etc. after that. Anyway to revive it? Thanks.

I own two of these. Marking this to see what the answer might be.
1] Are you sure the wall charger was the correct one?
2] Did you move the power switch to the ON (-) position while charging?
3] anyone else have an idea or question?

I also own 2 Talentcell batteries purchased earlier this year and am here to second everything rocksuitcase said. Honestly didn't know they could lose charge like that in what seems like a relatively short period of time.

Gutbucket:
I have 3, earliest circa 2016/17 or so, newest 2024, all work and charge fine.

Like rock' mentions, make sure power switch is in the "ON" position. Not sure if actually prevents charging since I've always charged them that way as recommended, but it might!  They don't seem picky about the particular charger.  I've used a few different 12V power supplies in addition to the ones they came with and they all have worked.

Do the charge level indicator lights illuminate when the charger is plugged in but with the power switch in the "OFF" position?  That's normal behavior and at least indicates the charger and the connection to the battery are both working at least.

ts:
I get one red light when plugged in and switch in off position. All lights light up when switch is in on position. Using Talentcell supplied charger and green light is illuminated on the charger. My other batt, same one, does not act like this.
