I purchased the a Vex kit back when it was on sale. I just dug the kit out of the closet after it has been sitting for probably over a month.

No matter what port I plug the 7.2 volt robot battery into after a few minutes it starts blinking at me.

I checked the voltage which was 7.97 volts but the battery appears to be dead while on the robot.

Anyone know what the problem might be or has anyone experienced this?

Edit: Does the battery have to be sitting on the base?
