Since they don’t boot, I kinda understand. But why did they get to this point? Did you replace them because they didn’t turn on

  I've got a couple old Androids (MotoX and something else ~2015ish) that won't boot due to dead batteries. There's an endless loop of: - Charge to ~.25% - Phone automatically powers on - The boot process takes more power than the charger can provide, so it drains the battery - Automatically powers off because battery is back to 0% I've had them on the charger for a few hours and watched this process repeat over and over. Short of disassembling and swapping the batteries I've tried everything I can think of to get them to power up

    I've never had a phone that refused to boot up with the battery fully removed and the USB charger plugged in.

    You could try: - booting into recovery -- find out which key combo might trigger that at power-on - booting into an OEM download mode -- "" - probably a cable insert + key combo - triggering the Qualcomm download mode -- "" That would load a different boot setup (maybe kernel, or just ramdisk, and whatever tools they added on top from that particular OEM), and that may allow you to charge. That can work sometimes.

      Yeah, those fall in the "I've tried everything I can think of" category. They don't help, the devices die too quickly to make it into any alternate boot modes.
