HELP ego batteries don't fire nor charge but do work...

[vapero]

I bought 4 ego bats from fasttech, they all worked ok but suddenly 2 of them can't take a charge and don't fire, I've tried with evods, t3, ce4 and 2 of the ce4 types that came with the kit (I've already tried everyone of these in other batteries and work great). I've already checked them with a volt meter and seem to be giving 3.5 volts and the led button does light when fired they just can't make a connection and I'm not sure how to fix them.
any ideas?

Is it possible the pin in the 510 connection is not connecting? I had to raise mine on my evic with a #60 washer from home depot. I cut the old one out with a tiny flathead (which was a pain), and lifted the 510 pin up by rocking it from side to side and trying to pry up with the same tiny screwdriver. Then i cut one side of the washer and stuffed it around the center pin...Maybe too much work for a FT battery? =(

When mine was bad if i pried up the 510 it would connect but it was still unreliable

You've probably got one device with a lower post than the others. When you put that on, it pushes the post down a little, and eventually the others can't reach.

Don't tighten the device down more than needed to be snug, and it should help prevent it. Alternately, ditch the offending device that keeps mashing it down.

You're paying $35 in Monterrey for an eGo battery to send to LA?!?! There's a LOT of vaping stores in southern California. Send your dad $20 and directions to one of them! Or order one online to be shipped to LA.

A 510 to 510 adapter often helps people with center post connection problems.

I've already rolled up a piece of electrical copper wires and placed inside and it made contact and worked. Note I'll have to come up with a more permanent solution thanks!
