Which is why I would no longer buy an AW. The factory has been shut down nearly a year so anyone selling AWs has stock that is at least a year old that likey has never been charged. A bit of a risk I’d say. One of the appealing things about RTD was they turned their inventory quickly so you were always assured of getting fresh batteties.Unused batts generally last 3ish years before they start deteriorating. If the charge has been allowed to deplete it will be even less.
