“The battery goes flat” means that the battery has lost electricity inside and is still rechargeable if the electricity is supplied. It means the battery will become chargeable if the electricity is supplied from a sound battery as shown in the image below, or recharged;

Remarks: The two batteries should have the same voltage; 12V vs. 12V.
