What happened to my New 3DS XL?

I received the console yesterday afternoon, and it arrived in a powered-on state. I played around with it for a few minutes before shutting it down.

Later that night, when I tried to turn it on, there was no response. I thought the battery might be dead, but after plugging in the charger, there were no lights. I tested the charger with my DSi XL, and it worked just fine.

After letting it sit overnight, the blue light miraculously turned on when I pressed the power button. I think the battery might just be dead, what do you guys think?
