If a Nest thermostat battery loses its charge completely, the device will shut down, disconnect from your Wi-Fi network, and fail to communicate with your heating and cooling system, leaving your HVAC unit unresponsive. While many models are designed to trickle-charge continuously via power (C) wires or standard HVAC power stealing, a drained battery requires manual recharging via USB or restoring adequate system voltage.
