5 Volt question

[DLite]

Was given a 5v as a gift that was just returned from the vendor because of a faulty regulator and now when I opened the package charged a new set of batteries (10440) put the bad boys in and pressed the button to make sure everything was good the led lit up and blinked as it was suppose to, screwed in my standard atty and nothing no light no vape no nadda. Noticed that it was starting to feel really warm so I took off the back and went to remove the batteries well the first one came out no problems but the second was like fire in your hand so hot I couldnt hold it. Thats not normal is it and if not what could be the problem????

it means send it right back to the vendor. or just request a new one...

not safe to use at all...

as for what it might mean... I honestly have no idea, but it's better and safer to have the vendor take care of it

BAD battery. Do NOT try to use it again. Those batteries should never get hot. Not sure, but I'd question if the charger was working properly.

charger is working fine charges all my other batteries its a universal trustfire charger and had no problems charging my 14500 batteries with it

Improperly wired where the draw isn't equally pulling off both batts would be my guess with out being able to check. If you have protected batteries it'll fry the internal PCB of the batt, if not look out! Either way NOT GOOD! Send that darn thing back asap! boB

I've experienced battery meltdown. Sounds to me like a dirrect short to ground, (somehow the hot lead is grounding out, the same as if you ran a wire from - to + directly.)
If you happen to have a meter, test the continuity/resistance between the + connection and the - connection (where the bat that got hot was) I'd just about bet that you will find that there is continuity and that the reisistance is near zero.

Only time Ive gotten heat was when bats were put in upside down, or button was upside down on my 3000 mah ego (crammed the spring and allowed current to flow through case). Like Kar said, being grounded out wrong. You can test bat itself, but assume it as bad if it heated up that hot anyway. But sounds like wiring is crossed to me, or not insulated and current jumped. All boils down to same thing..send back and try again. No Mr. fix it!

The vendor made good and is going to send out a new mod so plus one for the vendor but minus 1 for blowing 2 of my batts lol

Well, if they let you keep the not working so well mod, just get to fixing it lol. and bam two working mods
