Hey guys! I just got a new auto today. Its cig2o but the threading is a tad bit different but its okay because my carts seem to fit better. Anyway, I put it on charge today and the led on the battery stays on instead of blinking a few times then going off like my other batteries. Any ideas why? Thanks in advance!
New battery is great, but charging is funky

Did the charger come with that battery?
If not, stop charging now and also tell us what charger you are using and what batteries it was meant for.

Its a cig2o charger and battery. The charger came with the starter kit I got a while back. I also have a cig2o pcc.
That's good - was afraid the charger wasn't meant for that battery.
I guess if it's charging, then it might be how that battery behaves. When I've had chargers go bad, the light stays on the charger itself.

Ok, so its been on charge for an hour. The led is still on but its dim now. And just fyi, I charge my batteries by screwing the battery in the pcc while the pcc is plugged in to the wall adaptor.
That's probably OK. That's exactly what a newer KR808D-1 battery (Volt manual) does on my older KR808D-1 chargers. So if it charges fine and works fine, then it's probably not a problem.
I believe Cig2go and Cig2o are KR808D-1 (so you can also use cartos from Vapor4Life, SmokelessImage Volt, Bloogplanet MaxxFusion, Halocigs G6)

I would be concerned if the battery is going dim, it sounds like it's wearing down rather than charging. I always have everything unplugged before I start charging, I don't know if it matters, I was just told to do that.
Try taking the new auto battery off the charger, with it unplugged, and then threading it again. Maybe the threads are still rough and not seating right into the connection.

Okay. Thanks alot. I just tried it out and its workin great. Speakin of newer model 808s, is the threading a little different on your new 808s compared to your older one?
Nope. Still dim. but when I unscrew it from the charger the led on the batt blinks like im putting it on charge.
I would not worry about the battery;s LED dimming while charging - mine must do that too because when I take the new Volt off the old charger the battery LED is no longer lit. It only stays lit when I first put the battery on the charger. Oddly, when I take the Volt OFF the old KR808D-1 charger, THEN the Volt flashes. I have not had a problem with the actual function of charging - the battery charges fine, works fine.
I only use manuals so the batteries are safer from damage/death from leaks (makes it easier to get good hit too).
The design of the threaded end is different on the new ones. I do not have an old Vapor4Life/Kanger one with me but the center post of the old manuals was flat with a somewhat open hole. The newer Kanger (and I assume Vapor4Life) is now domed up a bit on the center post of the battery and the hole is plugged (it is a manual). The new Volt-style manuals now have a flat totally sealed smooth metal battery center post.
The threads of the Volt battery look like there is one more row of threads vs the Kanger battery. The full length of the threaded metal part seems identical (the length including the unthreaded section of smooth metal below the threads).
