My first KR808 to bite it?

[Kookie]

How do you know when your KR808 auto battery has bit the dust?

It wont charge. It measures about 8M ohms where a good battery measures about 5K ohms. I'm not measuring any voltage. You have to blow on the end of an auto to get output, and I'm not getting anything. It seems plugged up. Is it serviceable at all?

Although I use KR8 cartos I don't use their batteries or other stuff but I would recommend emailing the vendor you got it from and see if they either know or maybe replace it.

Hmmm, not a bad Idea. Its done. I sent V4L an email. That particular battery I got from them.

Someone mentioned I should maybe wash it out with water. That doesn't seem like a good idea to me. How about electronic contact cleaner?

(BTW, Thank you forum mods for moving this post. )

Well hell guys. I didn't know the batteries have a 45 day warranty. I wrote V4L and they said they will take care of it. Wow, thats great!

V4L is a great company. steve, val, mark all of them are great there. you should try their new liquids too. i've been hearing great things about it

They're a great company and will always take care of you if something happens with their equipment, but a battery should last more than 45 days... just saying.

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised they (Ryan) replied so quickly. And this is a holiday to boot.

I've had that battery for 12 days.

Well, now I don't know what to do. Since I thought that battery was pooched (and before I wrote V4L), I pulled off that plastic cap over the light. I didn't do any thing but peer down the hole. (I am the curiuos type, lol.) So, they said they would replace it, I put the cap back on. Thought I'd try it on the charger, and wallah, its charging. I'll test it out when its done charging, but I'm not sure if I should just go ahead and replace it or what. One thing it doesn't still do is blink the light on the battery like it should when you first plug it in.

I agree that some of their juices are quite tasty. I really liked the Wowboy. I asked them if they would be selling it in bottles. He said they are waiting on it. I am as well.

Does anyone have a nice break down picture of the battery? I'd be very interested in the auto battery in particular. Maybe like a cross section drawing? I would like to understand the switch mechanism by seeing it.
