He squeezed the trigger.
Elias clicked the battery out and stared at the black and orange block. It was dead weight. He popped it back in. Nothing.

The Cell StackThe heart of the HART 20V battery is a series of five 18650 lithium-ion cells. Each cell has a nominal voltage of 3.6V (4.0V when fully charged). By wiring these five cells in series (5S), the battery achieves a 20V maximum rating. In high-capacity versions (like the 4Ah or 5Ah models), you will see ten cells arranged in a 5S2P configuration (five series groups of two parallel cells).
Jumpers connect the positive of cell one to the negative of cell two, and so on. He popped it back in
The Main Positive lead attaches to the top of the fifth cell.
Most people would have tossed it in the trash and driven to the hardware store. But Elias was frugal, and more importantly, he was curious. He carried the battery into his workshop, sat down at his cluttered bench, and pulled up a stool.
If the battery status button flashes specific patterns, it may indicate "Temperature Out of Range," "Over Current Detected," or "Permanent Failure".
