I have used my ASP very little so far. Fully charged the battery and used it for about 3 hours. Left the battery inside for about 5 days or so. I understand that because there is no kill key, there is a constant drain on the battery. Tried to power up and nothing. Charged the battery overnight. The next day had a green light. Put the battery in and "Saber core...ver v v v v v.........." Nothing. Tried charging again. After several hours green light. Popped the battery in and same thing. It seems obvious that the battery doesn't have enough power to power on and is not charging.

Does draining the battery to nothing cause it to not be able to hold a charge?

Thanks.
