Plug it in for 24 hours. Make sure the light turns on when you plug it in. If it's still doing it after that then you need a battery. Not too hard to change out

What if the battery of the controller is 99% does that change anything

No. Sometimes the reading is wrong and the low voltage cutoff kicks in to protect things. 24 hour charge should fix a bad reading and if it dies still after charging that long then the battery went bad. I think I still have batteries in stock
