Both eGo Batteries fried within a day of each other.

What?
Yesterday:
It was working fine. Then all of a sudden smoke came out of the bottom near the light. Now it won't light up. It doesn't respond to the charger (the light stays red, doesn't blink green every 5 secs).
I found that it's not the light that's broken. It blinks 4 times upon metal contact.

Today:
Same thing happened to the other battery.
Different cartomizer.



Got them both a week ago.

Please contact your supplier immediately.

Please do NOT use that charger for any other batteries.

are they protected batteries? Maybe juice got in there.

Maybe you can contact the vendor and see if they will waranty them.... That horrible...

Standard eGo batteries.
Don't know for sure if they're protected or not. But I was under impression that they were. Not like I threw them in a bathtub full of water though.
The most I did was dip ONLY the threads of the battery in everclear I was careful to make sure it didn't make contact with the actual battery node though. Cleaned and dried the threads with some cotton gauze I had.

Please contact your supplier immediately.

Don't have any other batteries.
And supplier already contacted.

I had this problem... after 4 eGo batts, I bought a couple mods that use 14500 batts... not sure why they died etc...
I still have a few that work fine...

Same thing happened to me, well,except that it was only one battery, but, it fried the atty that I was using at the same time. The battery and atomizer were 3 days old. Little puff of smoke from the button and then it would not work or take a charge. Sent battery and atty back to the vendor for replacement.
