battery trouble and 510 connection

[vintagerider]

i am having a problem with a debranded ego 1100 mah battery when i put it on charge now the button light does not go out and it always did before it may have gotten some juice in it but not too sure, my other question is does anyone know what the thread pitch and size is of a 510 connection as i have a few delivery devices that the threads are a little short on and sometimes not well threaded wanted to get a die to chase the threads. any and all help is appreciated

Regarding the battery...

Does the button light stay on, say, for an hour? It may just be that it stays on until a certain level of recharge is reached.

I know with my Spinners the button light will go on for quite some time when charging, finally going out but still well before it's charged up. Maybe your rebranded ego is similar.

It's not uncommon to get some juice onto the top of the battery, just use a twist of tissue or a cotton swab to clean it. And clean your charger contacts as well.

Sorry, can't help on thread pitch, but I seem to recall seeing a chart here on ECF a while back. Try the search bar at the top of the page, or google...

It could be the battery post is pushed down. Does it work with your cartos? Could be the charger as they're not the greatest quality. I've had a number of them fail.

Right. Can you try another battery on that charger?

Ya post may be stuck down all other batteries charge fine. I know some juice got in there from an mt3 that flooded have it sitting in a bagof rice for now but any other suggestions would be great thanks

I'd been thinking it was a manual type, being a rebranded 1100 ego. They're sealed, so juice won't get inside (well, not easily!), it just makes a mess and a bad electrical connection.

If so, clean out any juice with a cotton swab or a twist of tissue. Worst case, moisten the swab with just a little clean water and scrub away. Then clean again with a dry swab to get the traces of water out.

Try charging. If it works, you're done.

Otherwise try to wiggle the post up a tad. A mm is probably enough. They're generally held in with a rubber grommet, so just rock the center post back and forth, from all around it. A toothpick may work. If you use metal, remember to turn off the battery first, so you don't accidentally hit the button and short the battery.

Also try a really really big Hammer, first hit it about 12 times really really hard on side, then using a chisel on top about .50 mil down give it another good whack, then come to the shop and u can use mine, I have a spare. Lol. Oh and just in case anyone thinks im being mean, rider is a real life mate. Cheers.
