I've got an S6 battery that indicates it needs to be conditioned. I've put it on the charger in the appropriate mode.?ÿ

Two days later it still hasn't stopped flashing. It doesn't seem to want to condition and charge. Is it toast or should I give it a little longer??

I have had more than one new battery fail from the get go.

Hope it is under warranty.

Unfortunately it's got more than a few miles under its belt. The other S6 batteries, bought at the same time, are fine.

Sounds like toast to me.?ÿ Probably just a cell, like that helps much.

Thanks folks. I stuck it back on the charger in condition mode again just for kicks anyway. ??ÿ

Three of ours tried to pull that stunt to me. I ended up having to leave them in the charger for several days, if I remember correctly. No problems out of any of them since. It was incredibly frustrating at the time, though, and more than a little inconvenient.
