I did not use my Cootwo for several months and when I turned it on it was dead and would not hold charge. I was ready to order a new battery, but then I opened the unit, put the battery in my XTAR VP2 charger and voila the battery came back to life. It seems to be working fine with the old battery now.

I found the battery in my Cootwo to have a 300 mAh stamp on it while Alberto recommends a 350 mAh battery. Also not sure if, when I buy a new battery, I should get one with protection circuit or not. I see both types being sold. I believe the protected batteries are a little longer than those without.

Yep, had to bring the battery back to life by using an external charger. USB port could not revive it.
 
protection circuits are preferred for this. I had to take mine out and get it on a good charger as well and it behaved after that. I do have a spare just in case
