battery question

[chud]

Hi fellow vapeheads!

I have a question about the Joye 510 battery. I have been vaping and quit analogs exactly one month today and I am lovin' it.

Anyway, I charged one of my 510 manual batteries in my pcc while connected to the USB port (I saw that you could do this in a video review on youtube). Anyway, it won't work anymore. It has had a faint blue light that you can only see in the dark that stays lit constantly for over a week now. When I screw it into the wall charger, it shows that it is charged but pressing the button does nothing. My other two batteries received at the same time are fine. I haven't charged a battery in the pcc while connected to the usb port since.

Do you think the battery is just broken or dead or fried? Has anyone else charged a battery in the pcc while connected to the usb port, wonder if this fried the battery. Anyone else experience anything like this?

Thanks for any input!

I've charged my 510 batts in the PCC while it was charging many times. No problems here. Sounds like a bad battery.

I had a 401 with the same symptom. Light stuck on. I tore it apart and it was flooded with juice and got shorted out somewhere in the circuit.

i thought the manual batteries couldn't be flooded? was the 401 automatic? i've only used a joye 510 so am unfamiliar with other models. i do think the battery is shorted though. thanks to all for help so far!

houdini--was the light stuck on very dim like can only be seen in mostly darkness?

It was a manual battery and it was very dim. But, it was not very bright in the first place when it was working. Here's what it looks like after I tore it apart. It's not wet in this picture but you can see where the switch circuit is exposed and could get shorted out. I don't know for sure that's what happened. It could have just been a bad switch. I'm just assuming it was the flooding that killed it.

I've been charging my batteries via usb and pcc constantly for a week now and they work fantastic.
