eGo-T: battery Separated from switch section

[oly_r]

Has anyone else had a battery separate from the adapter section. One reason i got the eGo-T was that it has the ability to be powered off. I keep it in my pocket (jeans) while at work and the other day i went to pull it out and it had pulled apart. The wires weren't broken or disconnected so i just pushed the battery back into the switch section. It seems to be working fine but i was bending over or crawling around on the floor that day. I have fiddled with it since then and it feels stable but i would like to know if this is common?

I've taken them apart on purpose but never had one come apart by itself. The switch is just pressed into the battery tube - a drop of super glue should solve the problem.

Ok, thanks. I didn't find anything like this with the searches i did so i figured i had not used the correct terms in the search.

The Ego-T is fairly tough, but no PV is designed to take a lot of bending or pressure in the switch area. I suggest that you get a lanyard so that you can hang it around your neck - an area not so common for extreme bending or pressure. I have a leather lanyard that I really like to use when I go out - very handy. The PV hangs loose under my shirt and doesn't bother me a bit. It's also out of sight until I decide to use it. The leather surrounding the PV also provides some extra protection. What I bought was $14 and worth every cent.

I am a computer geek and typically sit at a desk 80% of the day. Most of the time i take it out of my pocket before sitting down sometimes right after. I mis-typed the original message i meant to say i wasn't crawling around on the floor. Just the old sit down stand up sit down of a normal persons day. I definitely don't wear tight jeans so it isn't being compressed constantly. I figure that it was an issue of repetitive little bits of pressure and it worked its way apart over time. I ended up getting an ego carrying case to hold the stuff inside the shell and it reminds me to pull it out of the pocket before i sit down. Thanks though, i'll probably be looking at lanyards in the near future.
