Battery Spotlight floodlight not working. I took down the spotlight to charge the battery and also put a second one in. It’s not powering on at all. Any suggestions? I tried a hard reset but it didn’t respond.

@overcrop2 no but the batteries worked fine in my stick up cam.

I have trouble after charging batteries I really have to insert them with a little force and then shut the door with some force to get them to register.
