Parkside 20v battery Charging Problems

Morning everyone. I bought a Lidl parkside drill and 20v battery. I didn't use the battery for quite a while and now when I charge both red/green lights flashing and not charging.

I've searched on YouTube and one 'fix' seems to be getting another battery and connect wires from that to the faulty battery to get it going again.

I can see they use two wires to achieve it but they don't provide to much details where to get these or more details. Anyone can help and provide more in depth on what I should do? Thanks

    This did work for me for 4 aa batteries.

    Don't shock a lithium ion battery to get it going. Start a fire.
    Check terminals are clean and connect bars haven't bent down.

    Leave on charger for a couple of hours and see if it gets going.

    Probably so flat it's in battery protection mode. Was battery left on the tool?
