901 battery: took off charger, LED stuck on

[MlrGrl]

I just took a 901 battery off the charger and the LED turned on.
And stayed on.
It's not getting hot or anything; the light is just glowing.

I hooked it up to atty & cart; nothing.

Cleaned off the brass with rubbing alchol and q-tip: nothing.

Basically, I'm sitting here with a mini-flashlight. Would be cool, but it's the middle of the afternoon, so I really don't need a flashlight right now....

Does anyone have other ideas before I have to contact my supplier??

The light's been on for almost 3 hours now...
Battery doesn't even last that long when it's being used occationally with an atty & cart!!

MlrGrl, It sounds like its stuck....try lightly but firmly tapping the Led end on a flat surface a few times.... If this doesn't work, I've also read to try tapping the battery end as well.. See if you can dislodge it.. No one should have to hold a mini flash light mid-day while desperately wanting to vape lol..Good luck

Yah....I was afaid of that....we rapped....we hip hopped...we cried...we laughed....

Oh well, if nothing else, at least if someone types in those key words, they'll find this post and hopefully still be under warrentee so they can send it back

Thanks for responding

This lil' light of mine...it's still going!

We're at 21 1/2 hours now! WOW! it's like an eternal blue flame.....LOL

Too bad they don't last this long when being used for their intended purpose! LOL

lmao... does it vape? too funny

 

[MlrGrl]

Nope! no Vape!

But, it's still glowing! in 15 min, it will be 28 hours and it appears to be still going strong!

Ya its stuck so If you already banged & blew it try putting back on the charger (don't over tighten it) for a while then try it. you could also try a little poking with a wooden tooth pick in the hole gently...

~Keep Vapin~

I would, but it's still under warantee, so I'm just waiting to get the RMA to send it back.

Wonder if I can send it back with the light still on - cause we are up to 39 hours now!! Stilllll going!!! LOL

No Warranty If There Is Juice In It..........

Try blowing on the end with the led. While doing that put a tissue at the base you may be able to get out the liquid in there.

I don't think there's any juice in it. It's been working perfectly fine.
well, until I put it on the charger 2 days ago, took it off and then the light went on....

Oh yah; like mentioned in earlier posts, I've blown it on both ends and even tried it on a atty to see if I could snap it's memory back into working correctly LOL

OH! and before anyone else says to stick something in it to get it unstuck, until my supplier that holds the warentee tells me it's ok, that isn't happening LOL



It's been 47 hours now and it's still just glowing away.....LOL

Funny, this just happened to me too! Were you charging the battery with a usb charger or a regular wall charger? I'm tap tap tapping away here too

It was with a wall charger.

I dont' know why, but I really don't like charging 'forgien' objects with the laptop unless they have a purpose - like the iPod & blackberry that have a reason in the first place to be plugged in.

I did get my RMA from the supplier today. I asked him if I should just wait until it dies....IF it finally dies before sending it in and he said no; he's recieved them still glowing periodically.....thank goodness!! When someone mentioned that maybe it got flooded, i was really racking my brain trying to figure out if that was a possibility LOL

Stilllll going! We're up to 55 hours now!
When I left the house today, I started wondering what would happen if it decided to blow while I was out....so I made sure the kitchen sink was dry and put it in there incase it did LOL....figured there wouldn't be anything in there to catch fire 'just in case' LOL
