I started having a similar problem with my eGo battery & charger last week.
What I've discovered is the center post in the charger, where the battery screws in gets a bit recessed and does not come in contact with the center post of the battery. I use a small flat screw driver to raise it a bit, then screw in the battery before plugging it into the USB port of my computer.
It has been working thus far.
Let's hope that this is what ipodjulator is talking about, or else it will be another thing to learn.

hahaha ....ing awesome! I just had a litecig EGO battery die yesterday where the button would light up bright and fine, and the battery would flash when plugged into the charger, but no charge on a atty or cart. So I read this and lifted up the post with a kitchen knife to no avail, so what is the next best thing? I stabbed the post back down with a pair of scissors, guess what?! The battery works again!
Centerpost can be an issue with the eGo batteries. I had one quit working after a week of use. I pried the centerpost up just slightly with a needle or paperclip and it hasn't had a problem since, that was over 2 months ago. Just make sure not to overtighten your attys, I was wrenching them down pretty hard before that happened.
I was just messing with my ego-t PT due to it not making a connection with the 510 tank from madvapes, yet my new ego-c batteries reached it just fine...
After some careful fiddling and observation, the rubber o-ring at the base of the post on the battery end seems to be up underneath the post itself. I carefully pryed the post itself up and it would work until I put a different atty/carto on the battery so what I did was took a small screwdriver - one that came with a glasses repair kit and instead of prying the post up I pushed the rubber ring back under the post which in turn raised it up and kept it in that position...
I believe that after time the ring gets crushed and losses effectiveness, however I could be way out in left field with my conclusion but it seems to work for now.

Mine make a puff of smoke (not vapor) and die. It's from using LR cartos. Couple of resistors on the circuit board go poof. I have a depressing little bag of them that I've dismantled. Amazing how they offer such a long vape given the tiny battery inside!
I haven't killed any of my egos/ego clones using LR cartos. I have had a few new batteries that didn't work properly after the first charge that I couldn't get to work at all, even though the batts' button light still worked. I threw the batts away, but wish I had saved them now so I could try to raise the pin.
So how do you go about raising the connector on the Ego battery? I dont see how a paperclip can do that.
Mine lights up but does nothing to the carto so it has to be a connection issue. I was using it one minute and the next minute it was dead...I assume maybe I tightened a carto too tight and dropped the Ego post down too far...so raising it might help.

It could be that, or it could be that the battery failed. I had an eGo battery that died, no output, no charging, but left the button working and lighting up. You can try raising the pin a little by prying it gently up with say a fine-tipped knife, if you can see it's low. On the whole it's usually preferable to pull the center post on the carto out a bit, by prying it downward with, say, with a needle.
light up without fire usually means the charge isn't reaching the post in the battery..so pulling it up/pushing it down isn't going to do anything to fix it..I just found that out with a battery that would no longer fire a cartomizer. I could be mistaken(electronics dumb) but theres a little wire that connects to the bottom of the center post by solder and if that comes off its just done. Mine would light up as well but would not fire anything no matter how much I pulled the post up or pulled the post in a carto down.
This should have been prefaced with it not being a genuine joye ego so it could have different construction than any other battery.

I had the very same contct issue with my wife's pink ego-T battery. I explained to her that it only happened because her battery is pink, then fixed it using some needle-nose tweezers. I found that if you only use one end (like if you used a paperclip) and VERY gently rocked the contact one side at a time, you can lift the contact slightly without damaging it. She hasn't had a problem since I did it the second time that way.
