RC is dead!!!

[Cgland]

So I haven't flown my bird for a couple months. The other day I pulled it out to charge the batteries and update all the firmware. Bird did just fine. As I went to charge up the RC, it was dead. No beeps, no lights to show you the current charge. I plugged it in to the charger and it acts like it has a full charge. I figured it auto drained and just needed a few hours on the charger. Pulled it off after 3 hours and nothing. Dead as a door nail. Help me!!

Is that easy to do?

Its not difficult but plastic parts are too brittle inside, one should be careful in handling them.

Awesome. I scoured the net. Where can I purchase the battery??

I'd think that connector is more likely the cause than a suddenly dead battery.
They would more typically decline gradually if unused for a few months for example.

Original Battery type is LC 1650120 2S1P. This is 2S 7.4V 6000mAh battery. Not sure of the source. But I don't see any special about it except its connector. Search internet. If you don't find one, then you will have to buy a standard battery available from any hobby shop and replace the connector from your old and wire is carefully.

How does a connector "decline"? That connector should last for many years.
