Hi guys,
I bought a Tello around a year ago and had some good fun back then. Then it pretty much stayed in storage for several month until today I decided to take it for a spin.
However I'm having trouble charging the battery. When plugging the USB charger in the Tello I get the following sequence:
LED turns GREEN - blinks RED quickly a few times - blinks BLUE slowly around 6 times - steady BLUE for 2-3 seconds - blinks BLUE slowly around 6 times - steady BLUE for 2-3 seconds - and this keeps going forever.

After 2 hours or so of charging, I tried unplugging and starting the drone, but the LED stays off.
What I have tried so far:
Is my battery dead? :/
Any other ideas?
EDIT: After leaving the battery charging for a full night, seems it is fixed. However the battery life has decreased. Have ordered 2 new batteries.

What I have tried so far:
- Updating firmware (successfully, but it did not fix my problem)
- Trying different power sources and USB cables, same results everytime
