Battery dead after 6 months of no use.

[CapMac]

Is this normal. After 6 months of never using my macbook I booted it up and noticed the battery is dead. It only works when plugged in. If I unplug the power adapter it immediately shuts off. It wont charge either. I left my macbook plugged in for days and it wont re-charge. Is it dead for good and I need to buy a new one or is their a way to bring it back to life?

Hope you geniuses can help.

^^ Sounds about as expected:

Long Term Storage

If you don’t plan on using your notebook for more than six months, Apple recommends that you remove and store the battery with a 50% charge. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life. Be sure to store the ejected battery at the proper temperature. (See “Notebook Temperate Zone.”)
