Dropped batteries

[TheVTech]

I've seen a few others who have had this issue and was wondering if there was a reasoning behind this?
I dropped one of mine on to a plush carpet but now it charges funny as in thinks it's charged then says oh wait not yet then re-flashes and continues to charge, then when you us it, it doesn't shut off for about 5-10 seconds???

Black auto normal length with green led.

I had problems with one, I think it was mainly from an overfilled carto, then I dropped it five feetish onto concrete, it was done after that, I try to charge it and the led just starts flashing crazy.
The other, I was jumping up to grab a nail gun that was ontop of a framed wall and it jumped out of my pocket onto 3/4" plywood flooring. It hasn't responded in any way to anything! This has been four days or more, and the led still has a dim glow. I am waiting for it to go completly dead and try to recharge it, but I doubt it will ever recover.
As much as I hate the idea, I bit the bullet and orderd a Leaford lanyard to prevent this in the future!

 

[leaford]

YES! Another satisfied cus..... Waitaminute! Hate the idea?!?

just kidding!

 

[sawlight]

Sorry man, they just aren't my style. The only jewelry I wear is a watch, I don't even wear my wedding ring except for special occasions if that makes you feel better, and the thought of a "necklace" bothers me. But I haven't found anything better, so I will try to deal

Sawlight-A necklace-now you've done it. You have crossed over to the other side.LOL LOL LOL. Leaford-It is time to put a beltstrap hook and loop on the lanyard. Can't have the MANLY MEN walking around with a cord around their necks! More will sell with the ability to put them on the belt.

 

[TheVTech]

LMFAO manly cord LOL

 

[HzG8rGrl]

We gotta have something to lead them around with. We girls know what you use as a lead!

 

[sawlight]

I was born with everything a womean needs to lead me around with, she just has to know how to hold it You'd think after 5 1/2 years of dating and 16 years of marriage my wife would know that by now

 

[HzG8rGrl]

Sawlight-I think I'm in love-Of course it could be the Merlot. I won't worry about it till tomorrow. Atleast I can still type. I'll look to my right when I wake up and hopefully I won't kill myself!!!!!!

I am certain it's the Merlot, I use that trick on my wife as well

This may sound stupid, but try dropping it a few more times. And try to drop it from different angles. I actually got one to work again doing that. I was about to throw it away and thought what the heck, lets try this. After about 2 minutes it was working properly again.

 

[HBAndrew]

I see so many people dropping their batteries short distances, nothing severe, and having them break, yet I have dropped one of mine 5 feet onto a wooden floor, and another about 20 feet onto concrete, other than the 20 feet one sadly being chipped to hell, they still work perfectly fine :/

Only had mine a couple weeks or less heh, I think I need a lanyard.

 

[TheVTech]

Ya my drop was less than 2ft but I think I might need a little less coffee. Might help me from shaking them out of my hand on to the floor. LMAO

 

[leeshor]

I rarely drop a batt but did it twice today with the same batt, once on a tile floor, about 4 feet and once on a wood floor about 5 feet. I thought it was a goner both times but I am using it while typing this so I guess I'm just lucky today, if you call dropping a battery twice in one day lucky.

 

[sawlight]

USPS made it to my house today, not sure how! I got my lanyard, it's not as "girllie" as I thought it would be
I can see how it would work better with the XL batts as I keep getting a mouthful of beads
Great, more stuf I have to order
But I think my batteries are safe for a time at least.

 

[HzG8rGrl]

Leaford would not make a mans lanyard girlie looking. For shame sawlight, oh and Merry Christmas.

carribeaner attached to the holder instead of a lanyard? is this possible to do to the current one and if not you should make it
