First Dead Battery? :(

[jexmex]

Been using it for about 2 weeks now, rotating with one or two other batteries, one of which was added in only about a week ago. It said it was charged on the charger, switched it out with the battery that was in my 510, pushed button and no light. So I switched it back out with my other battery, and now the charger says its charging again, but if I take it off the charger after a few minutes, I get no light still, but when I put it back in the charger the light does blink, so I know the light works.

I am pretty sure it died, but I would like opinions.

Was not sure if I should put this in technical forum (thinking now I probably should have), so move if needed.

If it is dead, I would love to take it off your hands. Better yet, use the connector to make a mod, that why I want it. pm me if you are gonna toss it.

I would not mind playing around with it if its dead, but I just took it off the charger to test it again, and now it has a light when I push the button, so I am not sure whats going on.

you need a voltmeter to know what's really happening. Sometimes they just act weird for a day or two. Something to do with the time difference between china and here or maybe just a language barrier

I agree with happily, do you have any translater software on your comp?
It might have SARS.

kidding, hope it is ok but if it is dead ill pay shipping.

HAHA, thats funny. I am going to look around the battery mods section and see what I can do with a dead 510 battery before I give it away

bust out a nico stick and you'll never regret it. My only regret was waiting for a battery to die before doing it. My ****ty luck kept my batts working for months

 

[jexmex]

whats a nico stick?

Nevermind, found out about it on the battery mod forum.

UPDATE:

Battery charged and was unresponsive for about 5 pushes on the button, then worked fine, and I have been using it, so I am not sure if the battery is working on dying or had a fluke, either way, seems fine for the moment now.

take cotton swab and clean the contacts in the battery and inside the charger.

Mine was SO dirty, no issues like you had, but the gunk in there must not have helped

Pencil erasers work good on contacts.

Might be a bad switch. I dripped Everclear on one of mine and brought it back to life. If it does end up dead, consider the NocoStick. Less than 5 bucks to build, and my batteries for it are 2 for $5.50.

I've been waiting around for mine to die so I can make a mod battery I'm thinking about doing the laser pointer mod.. That thing is sharp http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modders-forum/26377-laser-pointer-mod-guide.html

The only problem is, I don't have a drill press
