Wow, one thing I have not heard of with the ego-t is battery problems....you say the battery light comes on, but is it firing the atty? Maybe check to see if there isn't a film of juice, or a piece of tissue or something on the center post that is keeping you from getting a good connection to the atty...if the atty fires, then the battery is doing it's job, it would seem....sorry, I'm not more help...is the battery fully charged?

most likely your problem is the center post inside the batt you should be able to get something and pry it up just a hair and then it will make contact.just go from left to right a few times. when you screw your tank or atty back on it will seat it in the right position. many people have this problem when they get an atty thats a little longer and they screw it on to tight and it will push the center contact down.

Yes vicki at cignot is great. I reported my issue early this morning and shehas already shipped me out another one in a matter of hours. Highly recommended. Best customerservice I've seen so far. Wish I'd have know about her a year ago instead of using other vendors.

Thanks for all the help everyone. Unfortunately I was unable to get it working.

The only way to test it for sure is with a multimeter or voltmeter. Touch the negative probe to the outside ring and the positive to the inner post while pressing the button. Be careful not to touch the inner post and the outside ring with the same probe. I know you have a replacement coming, but I would still want to find out if the battery really went bad.
