I was at the hangar and loaded a new G3X database but didn't fly. That broke the normal routine and I managed to leave the hangar without turning off IBBS. It was a week before I found out and the IBBS battery did not seem to take any charge on a 1 hour flight. IBBS voltage did not rise above 7 V.

I spoke with TCW and had my fears confirmed. The battery is too deeply discharged for the charge controller to enable charging. Only fix is to replace the internal battery pack.

The good news, if there is any to be found, is that TCW now allows experimental IBBS owners to change the battery pack themselves. The manual I have on file says IBBS must be returned for battery change.
