So as the title suggests my vape was working perfect (friend gave me his inoy maxo after mine got fried) went to bed woke up put my batteries in my charging station waited till basically full put em back in when it said only only one of the two battery bars was full usually when all four are charged both bara are full, this is my inexperienced question is it the batteries or is the box messed also note the batterys are around six seven months old starting to fray the wrap etc
All was fine until it wasnt lol

You can test them with a multi-meter. If you have a handyman friend who is good with electrical then this is something that they could do for you if you aren't comfortable with it.
try letting them charge up completely and then see what the mod sez... you may have been right on the brink of a unit of measure and the mod has a different point as to where the voltage is measured at...
I'd ask your friend if it happened to him... If it did, it's the mod, if not you may need to investigate the state of your batteries/charger, and the battery forum is a great place to do that. It's certainly possible they weren't quite fully charged. You could also investigate the battery ports and see if they need to be cleaned, then try replacing the batteries. Frayed wraps aren't good, so if you do replace your batteries you want to be sure you are getting a good battery, not a rewrap. People will likely make suggestions as to specific vendors.
Good Luck!

I hate those "everything was fine until it wasn't" moments. Generally.

Hmmmm........
"Yours got fried." "Your friend gave you his" at least indicating he was not overly fond of it. "Batteries starting to fray." Not good signs.
Strongly consider acquiring a new mod and batteries soon, very soon. Then, by all means, do some testing on this mod and see if you can get it working properly for a back-up.

@OlderNDirt beat me to it--on all counts (we older dudes tend to think alike).
That setup doesn't sound safe or reliable--especially not the batteries. Abusing or mismatching them to the equipment can have disastrous consequences.
Get some new gear and match the cells to the job they'll do.

Welcome and glad you joined. I know this may be a lot to get through but it may save a life.

As everyone else has said, get new batteries. Its extremely dangerous to use batteries that have taken on any damage. Its better to spend the 20 dollars on a pair of authentic, quality batteries rather than try to stress old ones to the point of no return.
