Battery still glowing

Yep, that's what it sounds like. If it's a manual battery try tapping it on end gently on a hard surface to see if the light goes out, if it does recharge it and see what happens. If it's an auto gently push the end of a paperclip into the small hole and move it up and down, you should feel the switch moving, this has worked for me. Keep your connections clean with a tissue or qtip as general maintenance.
That's very strange - I'm guessing the LED light doesn't draw that much energy compared to the atomizer.
This is pretty rare. I had one that did that from a very popular and extremely expensive vendor. It would not heat up an atomizer, nor would the light go out. And it will not charge. It is still on after 4 months. And useless.
Nothing I have tried has worked.
Somebody once suggested if the light ever goes out, it may be able to be charged. Like a messed up ipod or something.
Since I know so little about them, I would be concerned about leaving a malfunctioning battery unattended, unless it was outside on some concrete or something.

I have it in a metal box. Mine is a manual. Don't know about the op's.
280mah
I doubt it would be able to blow up now as it is almost completely drained.
I guess I should check on it maybe I can try to charge it again if it is drained.
I'll hook it up to the tree outlet way out in the back yard.

I had this happen with an auto shorty battery, it laid on the sink for about 10 days and never did turn off, sent it back and got a new one, I have quite a few batteries too and never seen one do like that one did. Sucker did'nt want to die.
Given that the LED is drawing around 15 milliamps, a 280 amp hour battery should light a LED for 2 years and change given perfect conditions and the battery not self discharging. No telling how long yours will stay on. Even if the battery is "dead" it could easily be months if the other control circuitry is efficient or dead.
Actually, my numbers were wrong.
Given a fully charged battery it should take about 18 hours to discharge through an LED. However, the mah is figured at a heavier draw than the LED. At that small of a draw, slow chemical reactions in the battery will produce enough power to light the LED for a long time.

One of my manual 510 batteries was giving me grief yesterday. From a full charge, I got about 20 minutes in before the switch appeared to stick OFF, and would not charge. Percussive maintenance fixed it, I nearly beat it to within an inch of its life but it's been working happily today. I apologised to it later and gave the thread a bit of a clean as well. Not entirely convinced the switch was the whole story though.
On a related note, Joye Stick V3s complete with battery will survive a round with the washing machine. Just needed to dry in the sun for a bit, and the atty needed the washing powder taste rinsed out of it! Only side effects seem to be a very minor amount of rust staining on the circuit end of the protected battery, and the switch has to be given a more definite press to work now. Although, it seems switch issues are common with the V3s without this sort of abuse.
