My trex ego batt does the 5 click shutoff without me even touching it.

[Kari2000]

My trex batt just starting shutting itself off without me touching it. I want to know why it was doing that. In the past the battery connector came loose and I had to snap it back on. I've also had the switch stick and had to knock it against a hard surface. The shutting off part is really concerning me though.

It may have unsoidered a connection or maybe juice got inside,
Might need to replace it.

Can I still recharge it? It's still fully functional except for this.

I don't think it would fix the problem though, It may be a bit more serious.

I was using a ce4 on it when it started. It has actually started turning off and then right back on. I've stopped for now by doing an actual 5 click shutoff and right this second it turned itself back on so I quess I didn't stop it afterall. If there is juice in it how do I get it out? I'm also afraid it's going to overheat and blow up or something. It's not actually coming back on its just blinking.

Hi Kari,
What are you using with it - atty, tank? Does it happen with everything you use?
It may be shutting off because the cell is weak and shutting off at low voltage.
It may also be short in your attachment (atty, or whatever you're using), or a fault in the battery.

Does it only happen with the clearo? It may be shorting if so.

 

[Kari2000]

After it started doing it I was smart enough to disconnect it from my ce4 tank. It's the batt because it keeps blinking at least every minute. It just keeps blinking but stays locked . Now it's every few seconds.

Sounds like its toast. I wouldn't recommend using it.

Here's an old thread with the same issue:

I don't plan on using it. I just wish it would quit blinking. It's driving me insane because I've only had them since the beginning of october.

Put it in something safe - like a metal can that allows for air venting.

 

[Kari2000]

It finally stopped I don't know for how long though. What kind of ego battery is it where the button changes colors showing how much batt life is left?

There are some vv Egos like that. Is your trex under warranty - if so I would contact the vendor. And put it in something safe.

 

[Kari2000]

I'd like to go to sleep but I'm afraid something will happen while I'm asleep. I don't have any cans to put it in. My warranty went out a week ago. I've already contacted the vendor so maybe he'll extend the warranty for me. I doubt it though.

You could put it in a pyrex dish. I think you'll be ok. If it has stopped now then just don't try charging it or using it.

 

[Kari2000]

Oh no it's started back up again. How long before the batt dies? It's a 900mah. Now it's lit almost constantly and hardly ever blinks. It's not even getting hot

 

[kiwivap]

Kari - do you have any kind of pyrex dish or metal box?
And you don't have anything screwed onto it right?

 

[Kari2000]

I have Pyrex bowls and a mixing bowl with a lid. Why? No there's nothing on it

Put it in a pyrex bowl. If it's not getting hot it may be an LED misfunction. On the other hand it may have shorted. It's hard to say. A pyrex bowl contains heat well. If it does meltdown it will be contained in the bowl.
