I have the AC charger that came with my 510 kit. I have a manual battery that needs to be charged but when I screw it into the charger, the charger light stays green (should turn red). I've only charged this battery two or three times.

OK, I'm really ...... at joyetech. Yes, I'm having a nic fit. I opened up the charger and found terrible design flaws in the construction. It fell apart because it was assembled incorrectly, but also because the design calls for soldering a 24 gauge wire to the nut you attach the battery to. Now, anyone who has ever soldered can tell you that it's very difficult to solder a thin wire to a huge fracking nickel-plated nut without creating a cold solder. And that's what happened, in addition to the whole mount rotating when you screw a battery in. Pretty obvious that design choices were made to decrease cost, and yeah, here I am ready to climb the walls because there were too cheap to do it at least half right.
That really is unfortunate and I am sorry you are having to deal with this. Let this be a reminder to everyone to have at least 1 back up charger.
Steelers suck.
Boo that skoot. joyetech from my knowledge is pretty darn good. When a charger pood out on me I went back 2 smoking. That Steelers chick is right though always have a backup. U might wanna look in to getting a pass thru battery.

Yeah, this was my first kit, I've only had it a few days. I have a pass through and PPC on order, but I'm kinda stuck until then. Back to analogs for a couple days I guess. I hadn't kicked them entirely anyway. Two steps forward, one back.
Sadly, that's the way it goes with this Chinese-made crud, skoot. I've learned to have backups of backups of backups. When I was mostly using eGo-type fat-batts, I had six -- count 'em, six -- chargers for "just in case." Now that I'm mostly into the light-saber sized APVs, I have three battery chargers.
Have you contacted your supplier? #1 - they should be aware of the fact the charger malfunctioned. #2 - A charger should last more than a few days. See if they will replace or refund it. Sorry this happened to you. Hang in there. As others have mentioned, a back up for your back up is a good plan of attack.
