Dave, Recommend you charge them overnight before trying to run them. If the battery is pulling most of the current to charge, the terminal voltage may be too low to trigger the unit on.

When I turned them on, nothing, not a pop, squeek or anything. The thing I cannot remember is, if the battery is completely flat, do you have to wait for a while so the battery has some charge in it, before you can turn it on or, should you be able to turn on the unit and use the synthesizer without any charge in the battery.
