Are my batteries shot?

Hey guys, I recently went a month long trip and when I came back my battery has been behaving weirdly. I’ll turn the board on and the percentage indicator says “0%.” Then, I plug it in and it instantly goes to 100%. After a few seconds that indicator slowly goes down to 0% again. Are my batteries toast?

EDIT: Using 5 2S 5000mah Turnigy batteries as well as a 10S Bestech BMS.

Measure the individual cells on the balance connector and you should find something that’s off.

It could be one of your batteries is shot and so it’s tricking the system bc the current isn’t strong. But when u left for the trip did u have your board charged around 80%? And if you did u could be short-circuiting causing the board to slowly lose charge.
