Can a dead battery be revived?

[Itzme1234]

I have 2 dead 1100 ego batteries that stopped taking a charge. They were only about 2-3 months old at the time they died. I've replaced them, but should I toss them or is there anything I can try to revive them?

Have I read something about a certain cartomizer that can revive bad batteries?

Nope. Once they're gone they're gone. One good thing to remember though is LR atty's and cartos create more stress than the normal ones do and will cause them to be used up quicker.

Those Batts normally last a lot longer, like 5C said about the LR stuff, and it's best to rotate and take a few vapes from one then switch to the other and use em both instead of one at a time with LR stuff a top of them, this way they wont over heat and burn out the Mosfet connection like yours possibly did. You may also want to make sure your charger is good, you didnt say how they all of a sudden went ( both at the same time is odd ) sounds like you may have had an LR something on one of them burned out the one Batt then put the LR something or other on the next Batt and kicked that one.? They both didnt just kick over with the white light blinking at the same time, or no light at all, So what did ya do ?

How they both died was a sorta mystery fluke when it happened. But what you described above is basically how it happened. I think a bad carto was the culprit. Though I usually only have 2.0 or 2.5 ohm cartos. I had one box of dual cartos at the time. I thought it was a charger, but now those seem to work. I recall actually hearing one of the batteries sort of sizzle out, with lots of heat, when I connected the bad carto, which I didn't know was the culprit.


2.0 and 2.5 ohm aren't considered low resistance, are they?

if that batt has damage electronic it`s possible to repair or change electronic PCB. In my town i repair batt`s
At the first short circuit on out electronic die

Hence mechanical mods

Too true .
I remember my first e-cig .I had two passthru (draw activated batteries ) . They worked fine for 2 months and then both just died within two days of each other .

But unless I have access to someone with your knowledge (about PCB???), these batteries are trash to me?

I actually think one of them could be repaired. Its a USB passthough battery whose red LEDs at the tip light up and even blink sometimes when I put it on a charger, but it doesn't take a charge no matter how long I leave them on the charger.
