Ego-t battery danger!!!

[00dish]

Hi, just wanted to post this because i am worried about my tornado t battery! its the standard 650-Mah, but i had it on top of a speaker today and it vibrated its way off and fell on to the concrete floor from approx 6 foot high! the silver part of the battery wich encases the button has gone wobbly and come out of the battery, as far as i know everything is still connected so i just shoved it back in the top of the batt! but now i am afraid to use or charge it incase it blows! is this something i should worry about and just buy a new battery, or is it still safe to use!

Any info on this, or anyone with this problem in the past please let me know!

cheers, peace - 00dish.

That part is actually in very tight so it's unusual to come apart. You could have seen a broken wire. Put an atty or carto on it & fire it up.

Have you seen the thread in here about a blown battery? seening the pics I wouldnt want that near my face when it went. I found joye ego batteries for 13.95. Best place i found yet for my joye replacement batteries and cartos.

Ditch the battery......you don't need a hospital visit...or their food for that matter

If it broke, it's time for another one. Inside that battery are a couple of pieces of foam on either end of the tube that serve as shock protectors for the cell inside, a couple of pieces of wire that connect it to the small circuit board containing the MOSFET chip and switch, and that's about it. Usually it's the end cap that comes off, not the threaded end.

FWIW, here's a picture of the inside of an eGo 650mah battery in this thread.

Still, buy a new one and be safe.

They are sealed at the button end and designed so if they blow, they will blow out the front. If the fall compromised that, that's bad news. Be safe! Time for a new battery.
