Is my battery damaged?

[Bunnykiller]

This is the battery. it clearly has a transparent plastic surrounding almost the whole battery except the poles. You know more than me though.

yupperz... thats a new one on me...

I do have the queston: is the arc spot then any bad? should i just throw this one away? You all know safety and all.

as long as the arc spot hasnt eaten the way thru the case by more than 20% I would still use it... but I would resolve the arcing problem first to keep it from progressing any further.

+1 on arc spot from not screwing cap on tight. Not a hard short so it should be fine. No other way I could see getting an arch on the bottom of a battery on a regulated mod.

That mxjo battery has been out for at least a year. What caves have all of you vapers been hiding in?

Start coming out more often or you'll miss another solar eclipse.

If it's a low battery notification, then obviously your battery charge is low. Either your battery is now bad or your charging practices hurt your battery.
