Normally, when there is a battery for an item that has a cord that plugs into power, it is to keep "Memory" of anything programmed, in case power goes out.
Jumping a dead battery is a dangerous practice You have to fully charge a dead battery before putting it back in service Have the battery tested Get a fuse cover from a salvage yard
The battery only holds the program in the memory. The No AC message tells you that the AC power that is supposed to operate the valves is not getting to the control unit.
Someplace there is a power cord with a transformer that is taking the house current at 120V and powering the unit.
Something has been disconnected or a circuit breaker is tripped.
If there is an outside socket with a GFI in it, try resetting it.

On the back is a course thread holding together a rough seam. Cut that once and the seam opens to reveal a small cloth pouch containing the unit. It might be stitched in (and shut) as well. remove another stitch from the bag and remove the device. unscrew the battery cover, replace the 3 LR44/SR44/357/303 button cells (one battery, four names!) and stuff back in bird. I used a paper stapler to close up my incision. Works for me! Hooty is now in bed with all his other Audubon bird friends and Luke is all better now.
The batteries are $2.50 for 10 on Amazon. Saves buying a $7 bird with $.75 of batteries.
When the battery is removed and the power is off, it has to be reprogrammed when power is restored, but you knew that. Check that the battery was reinstalled properly, and that the 'wall power' is hot, and properly seated to the unit. This should do it.
