when your battery is drained completely, suggest you to charge the battery with external charger as it will be taking long hours to re-charge it, if it still alive. When you have complete drained out battery inserted into M1/M2, it might still able to re-charge but that would take longer hours, even longer than external charger, as you are using the machine while charging it.
