eGo Battery question

[x0xKimmehx0x]

Hi All,
So I have a 650 mAh manual eGo battery. It's probably about a month old and is rotated with my other batteries as well as cleaned regularly. So here's my question... today it started to flash, ( as in time for charging ) so I placed it on the wall charger and 5 hours later it's still red. I remove it from the charger and once again it starts flashing, but an hour later, it's still flashing. I tried putting an atty on it for the hell of it, and while it stops flashing, it wont fire the atty. I never used it with anything but the E2-4 carts (2.8 ohm I believe ) Did these cartomizers kill my battery, or was it just bad luck?

I had one that did the same a few months ago. I gave it a couple of sharp raps thread side down on the kitchen counter and it's been working just fine. If that doesn't work it was probably 'bad luck' that did you in.

Hi Crand, thx for letting me know this has happened to someone else. This flashing is freaking me out! lol I'll try hitting it and see if it stops.

Are you sure that your charger is working? Reason I ask is this: My Ego started flashing, and after four hours on the charger...it was still flashing and wouldn't fire the atty. I switched chargers, and now it seems to be working fine. It freaked me out when it went wrong, because I had used it less than two weeks and like you, had cycled it with other batteries. I never let it discharge fully, nor did I overcharge it, so when it started flashing and stopped working, I began to search for CigNot's contact info, as I presume it's still covered by the return policy. Anyway, I didn't whack the battery, nor do anything else esoteric; I simply switched to a different charger.

Actually the charger stopped working soon after, so I assumed the battery fried it and junked the battery as well as the charger. Wish you had posted this reply before garbage day but lesson learned. What I need is to have more then one USB charger on hand, and next time I won't be so quick to assume. Thanks
