I have talked a little with Leaford about this, but I think it warrants its own thread so that he can also get a better idea of how widespread it is. Since another member has shown this happening to there battery. It would be nice if you notice this happening to your battery that you post it in here.

Basically what is happening is the following. If you look at the bellow picture you will notice that at the top of the battery that nice rubbery coating is peeling. This is also happening on the reverse side of the battery.

same thing on my black battery, on both ends. not a big deal but the coating does wear off. i'm wondering if the black ones are different in any way since i have a blue battery as well and that thing is has been in my pocket just as much and there is _no_ evidence of peeling, it looks brand new.

my silver one is never going to peel :)

Hmm... Could be. Seems like a common variable so far. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Would someone be willing to send back a peeling sample in exchange for a new one so I can show it to our supplier?

Thanks! Please contact cs@bloogplanet.com and process it as a normal exchange. I think it's probably just a matter of the supplier not overlapping the paint onto the inside of the tube, the equivalent of an unhemmed edge in tailoring. But rather than assume I'm right, I'd rather have a sample of the problem to show the supplier so I can get their take on it.

Not a problem anything I can do to help the people who helped me quit analogs.

I hope my white ones dont do it, and I just ordered a silver and blue, hope they dont do it either. Was going to order black but out of stock still (anyone know when they will be back in stock?).

the silver wont peel because its not painted. the black will back in stock after the CNY
