808 Battery Died

[venkman]

So, i had a freshly charged auto 808 battery. this batt was working fine for probably the first 20 minutes i used it after charging. i put it down, went to go set up the shop, and forgot about it for maybe a half hour. my friend stopped by, and i said "Dude you gotta try this caramel tobacco, its killer." i hand him my 808...and nothing. kaput. the LED lights up, but no vapor. it won't charge either (well, at least not in my PCC...my charger is at home). i turned the center post, to no avail. i recently cleaned it too, so i don't think its that. oh well. i've got my other 808 that i use daily (along with the dead one) and my girlfriends 808 that she never uses. as long as these two last until my p10 comes, it should be all good.

any ideas how to possibly resurrect this battery? it happened to be my favorite 808 battery...the draw was perfect, not too stiff, not too airy. and it is metallic blue. with a 10 second cut-off. waaaahhhh waaaahhh waaaahhh

are you sure it's the battery? Did you try a different carto/atty on the battery?

first thing i did was try the carto i was using on a different battery, and a different carto on the battery i was using. definitely the battery that isn't working.
