ego twist won't charge?

[Jzs007a7]

I own a EGO twist vv battery and recently it's been refusing to charge. Before I put the battery on the light on my charger shows its working, but about halfway through screwing it on, the light turns off and it stops working. I tried to raise the center piece on both my battery and charger and the same thing kept up. The strange part is, I found if I push the button on my battery while it's plugged in the light on my charger will turn on and it'll start to work until I let go of the button. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I've had the same problem, the charger was no good. Do you have access to another charger to try it? I have two chargers so I could tell right away that it was not working.

New charger...or try a Q-Tip and some ISO alcohol in the old one- DONT pull the pin-

Yeah, what he said, clean the charger as it may be gunked up. Also it may be time to think about new hardware if that doesnt work. I never had much luck with ego batteries lasting that long.

Often the insides of the charger will disconnect. Take those screws out and re-solder if broke.

You may also be able to put the front of the charger on a piece of sandpaper and sand it down (clean after). If it's simply not making contact.

I used to always plug my charger in to USB then slowly screw the battery on until I saw the red, then stop there.

Personally, those wacky chargers made me move to the Passthrough type with a modern micro plug in the bottom. And, I could leave my topper on.
