Dropped kgo battery :(

[WeedyBroccoliBee]

So I got me a problem. My Kgo battery rolled off the kitchen counter and hit the floor It still works but the ring where the button is is kinda bent, so when I put my vivi nova on it its all crooked. I'm not sure how to fix it, and if its safe to use bent up like it is.

I closed mine in my car door, and it bent but still works. It's been safe to use for months now. You should be able to pust the end back in with firm pressure against a hard surface.

Looks like the end cap has just came loose! The silver end cap where the button is located is just press fitted into the body that houses the electronics and battery. Simply attach something to the 510 connection and push down and it should seat it's self back to the base!

Kgos are indestructable.....mine has outlasted this and more.

well I guess if you can close yours in the car door and still use it, it can handle a little drop I'll try to push back in place. I was just worried about it exploding.. unreasonable fear I'm sure

i dropped my spinner 2ft onto linoleum and the button seized so i smacked it to pop it out and the whole thing broke in half...moral of this story, don't drop or smack or nudge these chinese batteries in anyway...they don't like it, don't appreciate it and if treated even mildly badly will repay you in mind by revealing their gushy soft insides... someone said on here u can fix these things if they pop open but i find it hard to believe a battery w/ circuit boards and wires hanging out of it is easily repairable... but ya lol they sell the button rings for kgo's at hoosierecigs

Well, that was easy! It's fixed! I probably should have tried that before posting..
Thank you

I've dropped my Kgo countless times and fortunately nothing was bent or broken. Kgo batts are sealed- just make sure the adapter to battery seal has not been broken...and if it has just be careful about juice leaking into the batt and damaging it.

good to know! I ordered another set yesterday, so you know I would have backups

LOLLLL more a Led Zeppellin, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix...list goes on and on- 60- 70's stuff but pretty well enjoy all music except for old C&W and most disco...music very important for the soul IMO.

I remember this tune

 

[WeedyBroccoliBee]

I remember that one sweet tune. I pretty much like older rock- 60s and 70's -punk and ska is what i mostly listen to.. new music is a suckfest!

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

I agree completely. Went to a concert pretty well every week in the 60's and 70's...ticket prices now are outrageous and I feel for the younger generation that want to experience a live performance. I remember paying $5.00 and got to see 6 diff top bands...they were called Beggar's Banquets... and they threw in a whack of fresh fruit
BEGGARS' BANQUET "DANCE" was a series of concerts in the early 1970's in Toronto , Canada . These were outdoor, small stadium shows in which the tickets were reasonably priced and everybody brought in refreshments and shared the good vibe, the food and the music.
