John, thanks for the observations , to be clear though my battery was not full , I had used it for probably a 10 mile ride and it was down a few bars. I then stored it in my climate controlled house and after couple weeks went to ride the bike , pushed battery guage button on way to garage and nothing lit up dead and wouldn't charge

I may have closer to 300 can't check it with no battery and it may be just over 2 years old . I never kept battery anywhere but inside my heated and cooled house. I tried hold the button in to take it out of possible ship mode , nothing happens

DickB , I read your post , I was hopeful and tried the get out of ship mode , nothing happened unfortunately.
Thanks for the info, battery still dead  and I agree how could fuse fail while sitting in my house not connected to anything and last used it was fine and over 3/4 charged

Thanks for your time , I did pop the end cap off and it seems I have black plastic shrink wrap around my batteries and not blue, so I may not have the car type fuses. I haven't gone any further with it .
I read on fixit post that black wrapped may have soldered on fuses. Amazing that fuses might blow while sitting in my house not connected to anything at all.

I had my battery inside my house always kept inside with probably 3/4 charge or more . I grabbed it to go for a ride after couple weeks of bad weather outside. I pushed the button on battery ,  no bars no lights at all ! I put in my charger it's green not charging . I confirmed battery is dead by putting on bike . I have only about 250 miles on bike and 2 to 3 years old ?
How could this die inside not being used at all ?

Thanks folks that answered, I went to details on Hollywood crossbar and see another issue I have a hitch mount that bikes hang from rated at 143 pounds. The Hollywood says 35 lbs max hanging , and 80 lbs I guess if wheels are in a platform ?

Looking to add a crossbar to better mount my rad rover 6 plus on hitch mount bike carrier , did some searching , didn't find anything. New to forum, just got a rad rover 6 plus today
