3 new 510 T batteies dont recharge

[vault13]

Hello all, I still cant post anywhere else but here , wanted to post this in the tech/battery section so any advise is much appreciated. I recently purchased 2 510 T starter kits with a spare battery for each kit so 3 batts for each one, supplied the other kit to a mate at work.

All 3 batteries are blinking 10 times when I go to use which indicates they are flat. I have tried recharging them many times either using a computer and the usb charger or using the power point usb charger.

Nothing happens. No blinking lights accept for when i unscrew the battery from the charger it blinks a few times. I read on the battery thread that a few people have had problems with the 510's but none of them out of the box. This is really disheartening as I have supplied one kit to a mate and 2 more are in the post for other people, I hope they are not all like this, I had to start smoking analogs again, For the first time in my life after trying to quit countless times I find the answer to not having to smoke and it fails shortly after. Anyone else had these issues with the 510's?

One very disheartened analog smoking Vault13

Thanks

Are you using a powered usb port? and have you tried using a wall wort? If you are sure it is getting power to the charger then your charger may be bad, or it may be preventing good connection. I certainly would not expect all three batteries to be bad. Do you have a multimeter or know anyone who knows electronics and can check that it is putting out power?

thanks CBB, yes to powered usb and wall wart. Probably the charger then.
