EGO CE5 battery not working, need help

[RobertD23]

I went to my local shop and purchased the ego ce5 for around £7 when I plug it in to charge the light stays green and won't charge, also when I screw it on to the tank it came with and press the button the blue light flashes 10 times, although if I take the tank off and hold the button in it lights blue as normal, if I connect it to my aspire k1 tank it lights blue as normal although I get no smoke can anyone help

I can't help much really, but if your K1 is not producing vapour but the battery seems OK, then maybe there is no electrical connection due to the centre pin not making contact. This can happen on £50 batteries as well as £7 batteries.
In all honesty, a £7 eGo kit is going to include a very cheap CE5 and that sounds dead if you ask me. The battery itself won't last long anyway probably.

If you like it, why not get a nice new battery for the K1. There will be stuff on here from £8.99 (evod) to £20+ (iPow2)

Batteries & Chargers

The flashing 10 times when pressing the fire button usually indicates the device you have screwed onto the battery has a short. Unfortunately if you try to fire a shorted tank repeatedly it can permanently fry the protection circuit in the battery - rendering the battery non functional.

If you just bought this I would bring it back and see if they are willing to exchange it.

I think most likely the battery is bad, however I have issues with the little chargers with good batteries too. Make sure the contacts are clean, and try things like plugging it in, and then unscrewing the battery and then back in, wiggling the USB etc. ... unless your one tank is shorted and it's not making contact on the other, first you're going to have to get a charge into it.

This is what I was thinking. The CE5 certainly sounds dead.

I had nothing but problems with that set up. I had a starter ego set and that battery started to no hold a charge randomly so I got an ego twist which broke within a week. Returned it and got a new one same thing. My Ce5 tanks cracked or would just start leaking. Dont get me wrong its a ok startup set but my advice would be get away from that set up instead of replacing parts.
