heres the story.

i left my gun on for a week.... battery died.... completely... i go to charge it... and it dont work... now i dont know if the problem is with my charger or my gun, when i plug the charger into the wall the red light on the charger does not go on, it should right? but i cannot get the gun on to see anything... is the red light supposed to go on on the charger when its plugged into the wall (if so then i need a new charger right...) or is my battery just overused and dead and i need a new one.... thanks for the help

If the lcd says pwron then flip the switch on your gun, if the red light on the charger isn't on, then there is a problem with the charger. The light on the gun should glow green if it is charging and the battery will cascade. The gun manual will help a lot.

Similar problem with me:

I always understood that you should fully drain a rechargable battery to keep it from developing a memory when I charge it. So, I played with it until it died on me in the middle of a game, then charged it. Problem is, after getting a full charge (based on times in the manual) the battery indicator is showing one block less than full (3 blocks, I guess, cant remember). Should I have not totally drained the battery or what? If it matters, that was the first time the battery was re-charged.
