EGO Battery button sticking

[pcijohn]

My atty has recently flooded a couple times on me this week and now the button is sticking in. How do you clean these?
Thank You

You can try rotating it - sometimes they get stuck and twisting them helps UN stick them. Just press it in (I know its already in) with your thumb and twist gently. If it doesnt free - twist the other way. It doesn't always work but worth a shot.

I read somewhere on this forum that one can free a sticky ego button by dousing it with a good helping of Isopropyl alcohol. Instead I would suggest using an alcohol dampened paper towel. Sometimes the finger gunk and other stuff can build up around the button and cause it to stick.

To clean the atty, simply blow out the excess juice, soak it in alcohol, swish it around a bit, then blow out the excess alcohol and let it dry over night.

Sheesh, I hope you are talking about a 510 or ego, LOL.

I've been through 4 Ego batts and haven't had one stick yet. In fact, my Ego batt buttons don't rotate. I can feel a stop in both directions when I try. I have one Ego batt that died (light came on, no voltage). I took that one apart hoping to be able to solder a wire inside. The button flange (the part under the hole) is square on one end and round on the other like a "U", like they designed it not to rotate. The flat part of the U contacts the threaded end flange and prevents rotation.

Strange ...

I lost an ego due to the button sticking (I probably could have saved it but i kept on hitting it against the counter)
