Thanks OP. I've been contemplating it ever since the post first came out, and I finally placed the order 2 days ago. It arrived today, and I'm hoping this battery won't have the same issues as the Xplor 600.

I have two 600 Pros and one 600 HHS, and the battery on one of the 600 Pros has been constantly charging—showing two solid bars and two blinking bars on the charger. After some research, I learned that the way to revive the battery is by shorting it. It's my fault that I don't remember to regularly charge them but the 2 goods ones I don't need to do this. I think it was in Reddit that I read this, the batteries are sourced from different areas and could simply have a bad batch. I have to do a better job at remembering to charge them at least once every 3-4 months with the one that has the issue.

In case anyone have the battery issue. To revive the battery, you need to:

Remove the battery cover (six small Phillips screws).

Use a thin wire or a paperclip to bridge the two small holes on the side of the battery, creating a short.

After performing this procedure, my battery was able to return to a full charge instead of getting stuck in the charging/blinking state.

Here's the research I found—this issue appears to be a common complaint, and this method is one of the recommended solutions.

Common Battery Complaints
Sudden Battery Failure or Inability to Hold Charge

Some users have experienced batteries that appear fully charged but rapidly deplete or cause the strobe to shut down unexpectedly.

Batteries Entering "Hibernation Mode"

If left unused for extended periods, batteries may enter a low-voltage state, rendering them unresponsive to standard charging methods. Reviving such batteries often requires specific procedures or tools.
Reddit

Charging Indicator Discrepancies

Instances where the charger indicates a full charge, but the battery's own indicator shows it as empty, have been reported. This inconsistency can lead to confusion about the battery's actual charge status.

🛠️ Potential Solutions and Recommendations
Regular Maintenance: To prevent batteries from entering hibernation, it's advisable to store them at approximately 50% charge and recharge them monthly if not in regular use.
Reddit

Avoid Overcharging: Do not leave batteries on the charger indefinitely, as this can lead to premature degradation.

Warranty and Support: If a battery fails within the warranty period, contact the retailer or manufacturer for a replacement. Some users have successfully obtained replacements for defective batteries.

Alternative Power Sources: Consider using the AC adapter for studio sessions to reduce reliance on battery power.

While the Flashpoint XPLOR 600 series offers powerful and versatile lighting solutions, it's important to be aware of potential battery issues and take proactive steps to maintain battery health.
