Just took the flasher out of storage today.When I put the charger on it shows its charged 100%.When the charger is unplugged the flasher has no power what so ever.I left the charger on for a few hours with same results.So I'm left with a flasher that doesn't have power

Its a VEXILAR FL18

Any one have an idea whats going on?

I had the same deal on my Fl 18 a week ago. The battery was 9 years old so I replaced it but nothing would still not light up.  Took it apart and replaced about 4 wire connectors and I'm back in business.
