You think they would replace it or I would have to buy a new one?

I guess I will have to wait for tomorrow

Sometimes the 'system' gets out of step and acts similar to Hibernation ... where lights can be strange and it doesn't charge.

What you have to do then is tell yourself to stop pressing buttons and playing with it !! Hard I know .

Maybe try this (I'm sure you think maybe you have - but bear with me please... ) ...

1. Have all on bench ready but battery not connected and OFF.
2. Switch on battery. DO NOT touch anything else - just switch on and leave battery alone. Ignore the lights etc.
3. WAIT at least 5 minutes - lights may go out .. DO NOT TOUCH BATTERY !
4. At 5 minutes - Plug in charger - DO NOT TOUCH battery power button ... ONLY plug in charger.
5. Leave all alone and keep check on it every so often.

It may take minutes or hours for battery to 'wake-up' and start charging properly.

I would suggest leaving it at least half day or more if necessary. I know it goes against all reasonable action for a LiPo - but its to do with that 'not so intelligent board' on front end of battery.

Resist temptation to touch or play with the battery - just leave it there. If it doesn't 'play ball' after that - then I think its a replacement job needed ...
