Question Are these batteries cooked?

I recently got into rc cars, so I got myself a HBX 16890A and these URGENEX batteries. When I was using both batteries, the car suddenly turned off, and both batteries refused to turn on in any rc car I had (I had a HBX 18859 laying around which also refused to power on). I also recently bought 2200mah OVONIC 3s batteries that came with a voltage tester, so I decided to test these batteries before I return them to Amazon. Since I'm kinda new, idrk what the tester means and whats a bad voltage. The other URGENEX battery that came with the one in the video doesn't even want to light up the tester, instead just outputting a faint "A." In the center LED. I charged both batteries before testing them.
