18650 battery not charging

[dwalk1989]

Hey, I have an aw imr 18650 2000mah battery that won't charge or work in my SmokTech SID. I have two identical batteries like this and an xtar charger that charges a single battery or two at once. I got home from work and it won't charge.

It was working in the car and I checked the voltage on it and it read 3.7v so I don't think I discharged it too much. I ordered it from rtdvapor.com and I'm going to order a few more but there website is down for maintenance atm.

I don't think I did anything to damage it, but is there anything I can do to get it to charge?

edit: the working battery charges just fine so it's not the charger

not much you can do if it wont charge do you have a multimeter or voltage meter that you can check the battery voltage with if not you can take it to an auto shop and ask someone to test the voltage with there meter. clean the contacts up good on the battery and the charger and see if that helps

This may seem silly but I have 2 batteries when I charge them I have to wiggle them in the charger to get a good contact, perhaps this is your issue too.

My charger has a switch on the side if it is at the one setting it shows red as charging and the other green but not charged.

I assume by "It was working in the car" you don't mean you used it to start the car!!
So it was working where in the car? Or do you mean it worked in the SID when you were in the car?


Not work in the SIB means what: nothing happens at all or I turns on but not fire?
voltage measured 3.7v with a separate meter or with the same SID? or with charger?

button top or flattop?
