WOW thanks I had never heard of this

I have an eGo battery that is flashing 20-25 times in a row .... anyone know what that means? Shot, huh?

thanks, will never touch these now.

It's fried would be my guess. Have you tried it on another charger?

 

[BluSwatch]

It charges (it's a 650 mah PT), button fires w/o carto, button appears to fire w/carto but no smoke/hiss, etc, and occ will blink like 25 times ..... It blinks fast so it's hard to count exactly how many times, but at least 20 blinks in a row.
I figure it's dead .....

Yes, that's another important thing I learned.

You had made the comment that you screwed them on really tight to prevent leaking. Do not do that to anything. Screwing it on too tight will also cause a short and fry the battery.

If you have just a plain ego charger that screws into the connector end, try it and see what it does. Those PT's will charge either way (mine would). If it still does the blinking thing, it's done.

Thanks hairball .... did that and it appears to charge again, but same-same when connected to anything .... I'll use it to hold cartos for punching, etc. LOL

I did not read the whole thread

1 - a few people lately have killed Ego batteries by using 1.5 ohm things on them

2 - if you screw stuff in as far as it can go you will depress the center post of the battery, possibly to the point where no carto or atty will electrically contact the battery post. Stuff (cartos, attys, chargers) should only be screwed on just far enough to electrically contact and work and no further.

3 - based on the above links, CE3 cartos are having battery-killing issues

4 - 510-T auto chargers can kill Ego and normal 510 batteries. Blu (and other 90mah L88b devices like Trios and Volcano's "Volcano" chargers are reverse polarity as are FS510 models and I think some kind of Ego-J or something like that) and all of their chargers will fry 510's and Egos

1 - a few people lately have killed Ego batteries by using 1.5 ohm things on them I take it that it kills the electronics not the batteries? So much of a big charge gets through to them with little resistance it's almost like shorting them out directly..because as far as I know you can rapidly discharge lithium-ion batteries.

2 - if you screw stuff in as far as it can go you will depress the center post of the battery, possibly to the point where no carto or atty will electrically contact the battery post. Stuff (cartos, attys, chargers) should only be screwed on just far enough to electrically contact and work and no further. Easily fixed usually.

3 - based on the above links, CE3 cartos are having battery-killing issues I'm not 100% sure that is what happened here but I guess it's possible it fried the electronic circuit board..without seeing it for myself hard to tell.

4 - 510-T auto chargers can kill Ego and normal 510 batteries. Blu (and other 90mah L88b devices like Trios and Volcano's "Volcano" chargers are reverse polarity as are FS510 models and I think some kind of Ego-J or something like that) and all of their chargers will fry 510's and Egos The 510 industry needs more standardization and reverse polarity stuff should have big warnings on them or a totally different connector altogether..reversing the polarity could have some pretty bad consequences (like explosion of the battery) but I understand that carts/atomizers will work no matter the polarity..bold warnings should at the very least be in the instructions and maybe a removable bright red sticker on the device/charger itself.

One thing for sure is people should get to know their devices because if they don't they risk harm to themselves and others..well this doesn't only apply to this industry..a lot of people buy things and just use them without reading anything...
