m401 intellicig auto battery stuck on

[Valhalla1]

I was charging one of my intellicig evo m401 auto batteries, the led was lit up so I pulled it off the charger and it stayed on. Its still lit up and I'm not sure what to do =/ seems to be shorted out and I'm slightly worried its going to melt or blow up or something crazy although its not hot or anything (yet)

hit the thread end a few times lightly against the table. if it still stays lit, blow hard into the battery thread hole for a second. if it still stays lit, set it outside until it goes out (I doubt it will blow up - don't think there are enough mAh's (millamps)).

this usually happens just before they quit forever. you either got eliquid in it, and the diaphragm switch inside is stuck, or the switch just plain wore out. It's shorted out - and toast. Check your intellicig warranty to see if you're inside the limit for a replacement battery.

The M401 design is such that even if you never drip they tend to accumulate a lot of liquid at the batt end. It is important to frequently wipe the junction. Clean both the batt end and the mating part of the atty and always store the batts upright (with the connector down) when not in use.

If it's fairly new, and you can't get it working, contact your supplier, and they will hopefully replace it. Customer service is very good with vendors who participate in this forum.
