Just got mine and it’s great, the spring is much stronger than my Tenergy (same plastic case) I’ve had for years, maybe after the Trustfire gets full of cat hair it won’t be as “springy”. Oh yes, after a while those springs have ‘come undone’ when it snaps back, maybe the stronger spring is better.

Mine is fine, I just use my fingernail at the positive post side and ease that end up letting the spring load side come up gently. LOL, am I doing something wrong?! :p

Yes Sly...you're taking the fun out of it!!!

...
Is the charger(from the kit) suppose to blink when charging?
All of the other chargers I have blink when the batteries are charging--this one is not. ...
...
No, it holds a steady red, then a steady green.

Is there any other charger available for the batteries? I am one of the 9-15% of people having trouble distinguishing between red & green, so the blinking light is the only way for me to know that batteries are still charging.

(Two separate lights, one for charging and one for done, is even better. But not many chargers have that.)

I am not aware of a charger that uses 2 LED lights . I suppose one could be modified to have 2 separate lights for you ? I think there is a company that is doing Ecig repair , they may be able to MOD it for you ??

Thank you for the link! I'll ask if this is something they could do... I don't necessarily need two lights -- a single light that blinks during charging would work (most of the chargers I have work that way). Or perhaps they could switch the single red/green LED for a single red/blue or such (don't have problem telling red and blue apart).
Thanks again.

Thanks again.

Ive heard they do pretty good work. I would think that would be a fairly easy MOD. Especially if they just swap it to red/blue.

I'm really not liking these batteries. When I received my infinity kit on 1/28, there was a bad battery in the extra set I ordered.

Today, I received the replacement batteries & 2 extra sets I ordered. (BTW, Thanks Mike for the replacements!) Of the 6, only 2 would slide into my Infinity with ease. So I rolled the other 4. I succeeded with 3 of them, but the last one isn't cooperating.:( Any ideas?

Another thing: if I stand them up, some are looking like the leaning Tower of Pisa, lol. Is that normal?

I love my Infinity (and my 2 Buzzes). The infinity batteries....not so much. Though I must say since I've been operating with only 1 set of Infinity batteries for the last month or so, I've been pleasantly surprised that I can go all day with that set and then charge at night.

Its pretty common for protected batts to lean. Only ones I have that dont are my AW batts. Unfortunately AW dosent make a 14430.

For the one batt that wont "roll" out try feeling the cover for the high spot and gently try to massage it down. Its the protection circuits that cause problems making them slide in.

I told my battery MFG about this and they are fixing it for us now ! these batteries are special made for Notcigs and the Infinity ( 14430 are normally not protected )

SO I have voiced my problems to them .
Thanks for this, Buzz!
Ok, I have massaged, cajoled, even talked very nicely to that last battery but it just won't budge.
So perhaps this is a dumb question, but I want to make sure I'm ok with it. I have 1 battery from my original set that was ok - it just didn't have a partner anymore. Can I pair it up with the 1 that doesn't have a partner from this last shipment?
