All of a sudden, both batteries dead

[prudent]

Hello, I bought my Ego-T x2 kit about a month ago. Now both batteries that came with it won't charge.

I used the first one about 20 days, but now when i screw it into the charger, the charger light goes red (when unplugged or fully charged it's green) but it never charges the battery. There is no flashing lights nor any function, the battery just doesn't work.

Then i said to myself "meh, whatever" and started using the second battery. What do you now, same thing happened after a week! Red light but no charge.

I tried different chargers but that didn't work either. Am i doing something wrong or just very unlucky?

Thats too bad, if it happened in under a month like you said then the company you bought them from may refund/replace them. I would contact them asap.

I mean, I heard about faulty batteries but it seems they usually don't even connect (e.g. turn the light red), mine do but never charge :/ i'll try that

Dont know it this applies but if you drained them completely... They dont recharge well or at all. I rotate often (when convenient) and just top my batteries off.

 

[prudent]

Well actually i do the opposite, i never drained them

I second center pin problems. If you have a voltmeter, use a clip on the outer ring and carefully touch the center pin with the positive probe then press the button. Be careful not to short the two together when you press the button or you will just get 3 flashes and no voltage. You should get 3.3v +/-.

Tightening the atomizer too much can press the center contact of the battery or the atomizer inward and stop all contact. Obviously, the battery is making contact with the charger or the LED wouldn't glow red and then turn green after a while. Look for atomizer center pin depression first. Try a new carto.

Actually this happened many times to me too when I was using the Egos and (I know this sounds crazy) I would take a sharp kitchen knife and lift the center pin a bit on each side. Hope this works with you!!!! I would also contact the vendor you bought them from as most do give a guarantee period and will gladly replace them if they are still under warranty.

both of them going out like that is pretty suspect...you may be putting pressure on that center pin and forcing it down without knowing it

always always, just screw cartos/atties into the connect lightly...over tightening can cause a lot of problems
