I purchased a no name ego style battery today as a back up because I broke my last one, when I put it on my no name e cig charger it blinked more than normal but I thought it was just a coincidence, now a couple hours later both the red and green lights on the charger are on making it look orange can anybody tell me what's up?
Ego charger green and red light on at same time, looks orange

It's a known issue with some batteries for whatever reason. I have one battery in particular that does this. The light on the battery itself will turn off and the charger is orange. That means it's fully charged.
I am assuming some of these batteries have different circuitry that is somehow messing with the charger because a lot of people have reported this issue with various batteries and chargers. However, it doesn't stop the battery from charging.

I've noticed that after a couple charges, now I'm just worried that the red light still being on when the green is might mean that even after the charger knows the battery is charged it could still be sending charge to the battery causing overcharging, and maybe a fire??? I know somebody has experience with this, is it safe to leave unattended?
Never leave a charging battery unattended
That missing Malaysian airliner was carrying a load of lithium-ion batteries. Some speculate they caught fire. Yikes.
Not a joke. There really was a load of lithium-ion batteries in the belly of that plane. I saw a pilot on TV mention that lithium-ion batteries (in bulk cargo) are not allowed on passenger planes in the U.S. because they are too much of a risk. However, other countries are more lax.
Now that doesn't mean that's the cause of this crash (if there was a crash), but it's certainly a possibility.

Even ego batteries that I know to charge correctly? And is this one possibly less safe than my other quality ego batteries?
I just got a no-name battery that does the same thing. I was planning on giving it to my son with the kit it came in. Now I'm concerned about it over charging.
I have acquired about 3 dozen of the ego style chargers and find about 1 in 10 have this or a similiar problem.
I think that since they are made by the thousands that they let a few weak ones get by.
I don't use the ones that act up like this.

my problem is specific to the battery. it doesnt do it with a different battery
I have one charger that does this...a little while after orange it will go green...maybe it's saying that it's almost charged? that would be my guess.
