I had the same thing happen to me this year on both of my 3 year old vents. It turns out it wasn't the battery failing but the motor. The stator ( the part that doesn't move ) started to break down and drop particles onto the brushes which started to short out and break off. The motor is of extreme

I thought I'd share an update on reliability of the Nicro vents. My three year old day / night solar vent failed shortly after launch this year. I changed the battery over thinking it had been damaged during the winter, but that didn't work and it turned out to be the motor. Replacement is $170+
