KGO Batteries DOA?

[HelloFriends]

I have been trying to purchase some working KGO batteries for a few weeks - I got 2 from Hoosier, one would charge but wouldn't fire, the other auto-shuts off after a drag of more than 3-4 seconds. I bought one off of Virgin Vapor and it works great, so I ordered another one. Just came in the mail today. I charged it as soon as I opened it, seems to charge fine (and the blue activation light comes on when connected to the charger) but once taken off the charger, the button is unresponsive when I press it (even if I mash it for 30 seconds to ensure that it didn't shut off accidentally). Is there any way to salvage these batteries or are they just duds?

Sounds like somethings wrong. Are you pressing the buttons 5+ times to activate them after charging?
I have KGO & haven't had any problems except for the charger that doesn't light up like it's supposed to.

I would get ahold of the vendor. Esp. Hoosier as they are very good with customers.
It doesn't seem possible that you could have that many duds in a row.
I had a hard time getting mine to respond to the 5 clicks at first, repeated 3-4 times then they worked fine.

Good luck & sorry to hear. Get your money back or make them replace them.

try twisting the button, or take it out and see if it has a defect in it. I have had 2 bad buttons, the lip that holds them in was warped and would stick on.
