Brand new Skydio2 Beacon won't charge

My brand new Skydio2 Beacon won't charge. Any tips?

Have you tried a different cable? The one that came with S2 and that charges the batteries should work. If its not the cable, then IDK. Where'd you get a brand new beacon?

Okay thanks. Let me try your suggestion. I purchased my brand new skydio2 drone and kits including the beacon 3 yrs ago directly from SKydio. I kept the kit in my closet unopened until now when I have time to play with it. Everything else works except for the beacon. I wonder if this beacon issue is common.

Any results, or no time to try it yet?

If the cable you were using charges the batteries, thats likely not the problem. And if thats the case, I wonder if the battery in the beacon has died while in storage.

I'm no expert on batteries, but that's all I can think of as likely problem.
