Hi 1buda

It's hard to believe there's been over 200 views of your post with no replies.

It sounds like you have tightened a topper down too tight and pushed the center pin of your battery down too far to make contact with the charger. Turn the battery off and try prying the center pin up a little.

As far as multiple ego chargers, I have not seen any.

Hope that works for you.

i have also read things like the gasket under the pin is shot, but the unfortunate fact is that your ego is a battery with a switch and some threads and if it dies it's not worth the time repairing it.

A colleague at work today had the same thing and so i just lent him my silver bullet, so perhaps it's time to step up to something better anyway if your budget allows.

Wiggle the pin and hope for the best is the only advice i have ever seen for egos.

I know that my batterys is dying, so I put it on the charger and the light is green. I've check the voltage with my multi meter and it is in a need for charging. Is there anything on the market that charges multiple batteries at once?

What kind of charger are you using? Do you have an eGo fast USB charger? A wall adapter? Are the connections and threads clean--if not, clean them with a q-tip and dipped in 81% isopropyl alcohol. Do you have spares? Is just one battery that's malfunctioning on that charger? Multiple batteries?

When I first posted my question and with no reply's, I did more research and found a 5 post ego style battery charger from Totally Wick. At first I was using the wall charger and that usb cable that came with my starter kit. The green light was always on even on a dead battery. Since buying the 5 post battery charger I have no problems.

Thanks for your reply's...
