It'd be good if you stayed on this thread and gave us real time feedback, if you can.
They are boge 510....i think single, i got a 5 pk. for 8.99....i think im doing something wrong in the charging, maybe charging when its off, i dont know?? when i tried to charge my new one last night, the light on the batt. didnt blink, stayed off.
ok....probably sounds like a stupid question to you, but....is the outlet you're using working? Has it tripped or anything? If you plug other stuff into it, does it work then?
Are they genuine JoyeTech batteries?
The reason I ask is because although you can get quality clones at cheaper prices, you risk getting shipped something from a bad batch. That's not to say that JoyeTech is immune to QC problems, but I've heard of far fewer problems from the genuine article than from clones.
I would contact the vendor and see what your options might be. If they are a quality vendor, they will offer a real solution and probably replace the batteries free of charge. If they aren't willing to work with you on this issue, I wouldn't do business with them again.

I would definately contact the vender. You should still have some type of warrenty on those batteries. As long as you're using the prescribed charger for those batteries, you shouldn't have any problem getting them replaced for free. It is NOT normal for eGo batteries to go bad like this. Just your lucky day I guess.
You might also want to inspect the connections on both the batteries and charger. I'd wipe off both thoroughly with alcohol first, then make sure the post is not sunken too deep so that they aren't making an connection. Sometimes you can just jiggle the posts up a little with a paper clip so they make better contact. Good luck!
Sound's like you have a smoktech batt? i had a problem with mine also the center positive pin was too low and had to use one of these to charge it 510 Battery Extension - Adapters - PV Parts
Like others have mentioned I would check the outlet and then the charger.
Unlikley that all of those batts would fail at the same time unless someting specific is causing it. Outside of the charger it doesn't sound like the gear could be causing faults or shorts
Only way I can see that much failure happening is if the batts all came out of the same batch and the batch is bad.
I did read somewhere that the Ego requires a specific charger. Maybe it is mismatched and causing the failure.
I am new too but and so far only use genuine Joyetech batts and chargers. Haven't had a single one fail, yet.
By the way, if you are out of gear, go to Walgreens and get a Blu disposable until you can resupply. The new generation of those is not better.Don't pick up a stinky.
Good luck.

Different brand and Joyetech, I would definitely contact the vendor for help and assistance.
Blue light????? What blue light? No lights on the Ego battery should be on while charging. The button when pressed should light up but it looks white to me. The battery light should blink several times when you plug it in but should not stay on, sounds like a short to me.
