I've unpacked my Legacy controler after it has been put away for almost two years.  The controller would not turn on so I plugged it in and allowed it to charge over night.  The base lit up as it should and the red lights flashed.  The controller still will not turn on after charging.  This unit was almost brand new when it was put away and used very little.  Is it possible the rechargeable batteries have gone bad?  If so is there a specific AA rechargeable battery I should buy?  Thanks for your help.

The red lights flashing telling you batteries do not have a full charge. That happened to mine, got a set of Energizers and all was well.

I use the Tenergy batteries now, and they charge fine in either of the bases.

 

John,

 

Can you post an image/link?

And I lost the 9V looking DCS battery link if you have it again.

Thanks!
