I left the battery charging for almost an entire day. It is still yellow. The camera won't turn on. Have the charger and battery already degraded? Is the whole camera degraded? Should I try to buy another battery?</P> Fri, 28 Feb 2025 14:23:40 GMT kristenw80 2025-02-28T14:23:40Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/New-9-year-old-EOS-Rebel-T6-won-t-turn-on-battery-won-t-charge/m-p/536924#M130381 <P>I was given a Canon Rebel T6 that was purchased in 2016, and never opened till 2025.

If the camera works you are in the right place to pick up a new battery.</P> Fri, 28 Feb 2025 02:44:37 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/New-9-year-old-EOS-Rebel-T6-won-t-turn-on-battery-won-t-charge/m-p/536971#M130403 March411 2025-02-28T02:44:37Z
