eGo T battery getting hot when charging...

[gary777]

I have a three week old eGo T type -B kit. One of the batteries is starting to get hot before the green light comes on the charger indicating it is charged. I have not ran down the batteries completely yet. I just charge them every day before they lose their charge.

Could this be from charging to soon. My other battery charges fine. I do not know what the batteries mah's are.

The total length of the battery measured tip to tip, With the atty off is 3-3/8" long.

Thanks

Take it off the charger and contact your vendor.

Charging early should be fine. Did you check the battery and charger threads for liquid?

Is this Joye or a clone? Do they have a warranty where you bought it? (like Liberty-Flights.com warrants Ego-T batteries for 2 months)

Does your other battery charge fine on the same charger? (BTW if you ever owned a 510-T, never ever use a 510-T charger to charge anything but a 510-T. And never use an FS510 charger to charge anything but FS510, Never use a Blu charger to charge anything but Blu)

And besides getting a new battery I recommend you also get a spare charging cable. I also recommend you buy real Joye brand. If you happen to shop at Liberty-Flights, press the 20% of upper left front page before shopping so you will see and get the lowered prices.

I'm with the mouse on this. Contact your vendor and get it replaced. I'd also refrain from charging it further. Better safe than sorry.

Yes, other battery charges fine. As far as I know it is all original Joye. I always clean the battery anode before screwing in to the charger...

...the batt shouldn't get hot...does the charger get hot when charging, either that batt or the other..........

Yep, I'd send that one back. Your vendor should be happy to send you another one. They don't want reports of a loud pop when the heat gets too high. Your batteries should not even be noticeably warm when you remove them after charging. Mine are room temp after charging.
