Just got one of these and one of the slots is jammed so that when I go to put a battery in I have to push extremely hard to get it to install into charger. The other slot is fine. Will this damage my battery? How do I fix this?
Nitecore d2 question?

If it is defective, better to return it to where you bought it and get it replaced.
Some slots in most all chargers have that problem to some extent. Moving them back and forth to wear down the rough edges on the plastic slide guides in the sleds will finally make them all smooth. That problem crosses brands.
That said, if it's new I'd call and get an RMA and send that one back for a new one. Ask them to open up the next one and check it for slide smoothness before sending it.
ETA: you might want to pull the slide with your finger and insert the battery in the bay, and then move the slide up to contact the battery. While you are at it, run the slide back and forth with your finger a few times to wear off any rough plastic where the metal slide rubs against the plastic sled.

I own that charger, and the slides aren't terrible, but they did ease up over time. I agree with the idea of sending it back if one slide is THAT bad, however, as if you are having trouble with it, you may well damage the battery.
I have found with this charger, the best method is in fact to slide the slide as far as it will go, insert the battery, and then gently "release" (but not completely, just reduce pressure) so that it slowly makes contact with the battery.
Best of luck with a replacement, I would personally go that route, probably.

A dry silicone spray will make it easier, until it get's more use
