Default Duralite Battery Help!

Ok, so I used my battery for may'be and hour with the regulator attached just as instruction stated. I tried to use it tonight to get my servos centered and the battery would not work, it's not even registering a charge. When plugged into the charger the green light comes on for a spilt second and thens gow away. Is my battery dead or is there something that I am doing wrong. The battery is may'be two months old with only a half-hour of use on it. Any help ould be appreciated.

Thanks,

If your battery was left directly plugged into the regulator say goodnight. The regulator draws amperage when ever it is plugged in. You need to have a switch in between the battery and the regulator.

Can you tell me how much does it draw? What about the electronic switch? Other charasteristics and details?

I study electronics in university and I have designed my own "power box" which uses li-pol battery as a primary power source. I am interested to know how Duralite has designed the regulator unit as I have tested many combinations with succes. My device also has secondary battery pack and constantly measures both batteries to decide which one to use. It also shows me the state of the power system with two led's.

I dont know how the regulator works, but I know there is a constant amp draw. I lost 2 batteries on the bench that were plugged into regulators.
