Bad battery. Maybe, a bad charger. Use the process of elimination. It shouldn't be too difficult.
Please, you used a wall charger or the USB, please a little more information....
Good! If you'd said it was USB I would have said "you're fried"! But the battery should be thrown I suspect you did that, if you have a good battery put it in. If nothing happens at first kinda plunk the Stick on a hard surface. Hopefully you'll get the red light to flash a couple times, wait a second and then try the button for blue! If nothing still happens, use the usb and hold your breath that something happens, if you've got power then it could be your charger wasn't working properly as well. Throw that away as well!
I bought an extra couple of those (by accident, but later thought it might be a good thing). Sometimes those batteries though can be flawed, and cause kind of a chain reaction. They can actually explode, sometimes multiple times. If you've never seen it, will surprise you how powerful and dangerous it could be. I lost a Nikon D-70 from a defective battery, tremendous heat.
Could have shorted the charger because of the battery or vice-versa....... I was kinda long getting back here so am hoping you're back in business........just a word about the USB charger...I won't ever use mine, just wouldn't do it. If anything you can get a wall-usb adapter plug for charging....will look for a link, there's one around here somewhere. If something should happen you wouldn't fry your PC as well. Yah, I know, that isn't supposed to happen..
NOTE: I can't see anymore, geez I didn't realize how much crap there is on the Janty stickey, but anyway read your PM

Plant production fault. Several reports for even bad Nokia cellphone Li-Ion batteries are around.
DO NOT USE and return charger AND battery to seller immediately!

my blackberry curve battery bloated and got very hot. had to replace, and its fine. seems to be a lithium ion issue. take the good with the bad, i guess.
I had a RN4075 ( one of the 901 compatibles) battery do that last week. It was about 2 months old.
Went to use it and it blinked like crazy and got super hot, hot, hot.... Ran and tossed it outside in the grass real quick just in case. It had been charged the day before and used for like 1 hr, then unscrewed from atty for the night. This happened first attempted puff the next morning.
It didn't explode but seriously made me nervous. Deader than a doornail after that.
I'm very mindful of my batt's now. Keep an eye on them charging and even when using them.
Wonder if it was just because it got old?

That was the µC autoclean cycle
Super autoclean cycle... cleaned itself into nonworking lol
What was wild the atty stayed cold while just the batt got hot, guessing it just wore itself out.
That would SERIOUSLY ruin my day to lose my d70 to a faulty battery. I feel your pain on that one.

Well, that has been often critizised, maybe the reason my newer DSE103 batteries haven't got a autocleaning cycle implemented anymore.Super autoclean cycle... cleaned itself into nonworking lol
The heater wire is leaded with standard electronic parts lead to the anode and may go off at cleaning glow temperatures... I had to repair one.
it's a lipo cell. The worst thing you can do to them is over discharge.
You should also store them somewhere metal or assume flames will shoot out of the lipo at any giv'n time.
Also.. it's not needed to "charge for 8hrs the first time". That is very old tech talk.
I deal with much larger lipos

If a battery exhibits symptoms like you have described, and especially if it swells AT ALL, GET RID OF IT !!
You are flirting a catastrophe.
Don't become the first reported statistic of dwelling inferno due to e-cig battery malfunction.
I am NOT kidding.
