Make sure your charger contacts are clean. Had friends that had similar issues. Noalux had built up and dried on the charger. As others have said, all my LG from illumn are legit. Doesn't mean you didn't get a bad battery. Happens.

I bought 20 of them and have only used 10 of them. It's a brand new LUC charger but it could be bad too.
I'd try a battery that you know is good on the LUC and see if it charges correctly. I bought my brown turds from Illum. No issues. Process of of elimination at this point 
Wooooohooooooo! Ti CC finally arrived! All safe and sound. And it is absolutely gorgeous, thank you Corey ... as I knew it would be
And a family pic. The brass and Al are not quite as shiny as they would have been if AusPost has been a bit quicker

Woohoo!
I'm so glad you finally got her, wild one!
Awesome family portrait, as well!
Thank YOU, my friend. I really hope you enjoy her.

I'm loving her already.
It's pity I'm 'working', otherwise that would be a real toast. I'll have to wait a few hours 
Easy to make a new one and only costs a few bucks.
Get yourself a lipo checker and a jst-xh extension lead.
Cut the male end off of the lead, leave the black wire and the next wire.
Yank any remaining wires out of the jst-xh lead.
Rip the end of the sheathing off of your remaining 2 wires.
Now you can choose to put a drop of solder on them, solder on some ends or solder them to a single 18650 sled.
Or leave them bare if you want.
Here's one I made with old contacts from my late grandfather's train set.

Yeah I bought 10 of them at the same time I got that one. It was sadly because Scott couldn't make them anymore.
I got to the party late and felt I'd be taking advantage asking for something for free I could make myself.
I believe my parts were in the mail when he announced he wasn't doing any more.
Never posted in the thread, but I think I read the whole thing.
Had a small handful of multi cell lipos and no checker so decided to make mine swappable.
So instead of soldering on the checker, I took a spare lead I had laying around from lipo surgery and used that.
That way it's removable.
Checker ever goes bad I can just buy another one and swap the leads with a tug and a push.
So there's that also.
My other one is connected to a single removable 18650 sled for the wife and kids.
I'm guessing then you found one that still works?

Have I mentioned I love my CC squonkers? They fire every single time with absolutely zero button mashing and minimal maintenance - just keep the +/- contacts and the body/cap join clean and add a little touch of no-ox-id. They fit my hand perfectly, though I know one or two misguided people find them a little small (I'm looking at you, @Doffy !).
I do recommend the new 510 and the silver -ve contact, though I haven't yet bothered swapping out either in my older CCs with the original 510/brass contact.
I have a mixture of Italian bottles and Cappy V4 BFX in my CCs. To be honest, I'm not convinced the Cappies are worth the extra money. They are beautifully soft and perhaps will have a longer life - I don't know. However, I find the half-turn lid on the Italian bottles makes topping up juice really easy and relatively mess-free. With the Cappies, they are so soft that when I'm screwing on the lid I often squonk accidentally and end up with a bit of a mess. I am a bit of a klutz, though, so your mileage may vary
Al 6061: The aluminium blackens fairly easily in my hands - though I think this varies from person to person. When I feel like giving it a bit of a shine, I use the grey Scotchbrite pads (7448) and Simichrome polish. If I'm feeling really energetic, I add a coat of Renaissance Wax. But balancing the maintenance is the feather-light feel of the aluminium. It's perfect for in the pocket when out gardening, for example.
Brass: Heavy (relatively speaking), and requires maintenance as for the aluminium - though I think the brass is actually easier to shine up. But it is just gorgeous, with or without patina. My sexy CC with its sinuous V2 squonk hole
SS: I've alway loved mods with 'heft', and was absolutely thrilled when Corey decided to do SS - and am still thrilled. It's satisfyingly heavy, but without the maintenance I do have maroon Scotchbrite to help with fine surface scratches, particularly on the base, but I almost never bother. Just a wipe over with a damp cloth. The perfect mod for sitting out on the deck with a glass of red.
Ti: The perfect balance of a feeling of 'heft' vs actual weight for out and about - and, like the SS, almost no surface maintenance. I'm in heaven
