I shorted ebike 48V battery, is it repairable?

Question

I shorted the battery testing a headlight and bumped positive and negative together and it sparked then no power coming from battery, can it be fixed? I have it on the charger now, will it come out of it and charge? The red light comes on the charger when plugged into the battery, green when unplugged, it is Ebike Frame Battery use Panasonic cells 48V 12Ah Electric Bicycle lithium Battery for E-Bike 1000W Motor like this https://www.google.com/search?q=48v+battery+panaso...

Thank You...

Update:

Update: I don't see a fuse or reset button on the outside, you think there may be something inside if I take the battery apart?

Update 2:

It is working again Thank God... couldn't get it apart even after taking all visible screws out so I don't know why it works again after only sitting on charger about an hour.

If battery was just drained all the way from shorting it a second or it has a fusible link in it???

Thank You...

Since it started working again, it probably has an electronic circuit to switch off when there is an overload, and to switch back on after a preset time. That's even better than a fuse or breaker.

Go to a place which repairs such bikes and ask.

A DEAD SHORT TO LOAD LITHIUM BATTERY MEANS KILLING AND MADE THE BATTERY BECOMES NON REPAIRABLE, UNLESS YOU FIND A WAY TO OPEN THE BATTERY CASE AND LOCATE THE DEAD SHORT CELLS AND REPLACING THEM.
SOME 48V BATTERY PACK INSIDE HAS A PROTECTION CUT OFF OVERLOAD OR THERMO FUSE OR SWITCH. NOW IT MIGHT BE OPENED. REPLACE IT CAN FIX THIS TROUBLE.
