Hello hello,
I recently ran into a problem with my Canon 600D, let me explain: I took my camera, which hadn’t been touched for months, for a weekend in the countryside, anyway, I’ll skip the uninteresting details, and I realize (with horror) that I had left it on (for several months, in fact). I try to recharge the battery, but it doesn’t work; at first, I think it’s probably because of my second charger from Taiwan that I bought in a little store in Algeria. Anyway, I go back home and try with the real original charger, and even though the light is green, I put the battery in the camera and it doesn't turn on. So I turn to you, honest folks, to tell me, if you know, if you think it’s the battery that’s dead or if I have a really big problem, meaning my camera could be dead.
Thanks!!!
Clara

I believe that only a competent technician could answer your questions. However, I do know that some cameras have an "automatic shutdown" function when the device is not used for more than a minute, for example. Your 600D is a sufficiently advanced device to have this function, in my opinion. It should have turned off by itself.
Before taking it to a technician, you can try this trick:
Charge and discharge your battery 2 or 3 times. This should theoretically restore it to working condition. A fully discharged lithium-ion battery loses its ability to hold a full charge. By performing this maneuver, it could bring it back into working condition.
But the real solution is to have your camera inspected by a qualified professional. That's what I would do after trying a few things if they don't solve the problem. -
That's why it's important to always have two batteries like two memory cards. You should find another 600D owner to try their battery.
But as Hiberriade says, just go to a store. The salesperson probably has a compatible battery. Especially if you tell them that if it's the battery, you'll buy a new one from them ;)
