I just bought a Vision Spinner 2 clone (1100mah) and I tried to charge it on a standard Ego 5.0V/500mA charger. This is the same charger I use for my other Ego batteries (650mah).
The light on the switch stayed white for a few seconds and smoke started to come out of the switch! There was also a slight burnt smell. I immediately unplugged the battery from the charger and now I can't turn it off. I press 5 times on the button and it does not turn it off, the light is still on.
What is going on here? I know there is always a risk when buying clones, but I didn't expect this. Is it dangerous if the light stays on until it discharges completely? Should I try plugging it in the charger again?

Chipotle.
@sparkky1: yes, without the atomizer on it. Thanks for your reply
The light just turned off now, about 2hrs after unplugging it from the charger...
The charger is fine, but now I'm a little anxious about using it with other batts.
The price of those chargers isn't worth potentially damaging something or injuring yourself IMO, I would personally discard both the battery and charger and buy replacements.
