[QUOTE="UncLeJunkLe, post: 23671569, member: 49006"] Sounds like the battery to me. If it won't take a charge when trying to charge it inside the mod, yet the mod turns on when plugged into USB source, then it doesn't sound like it's your mod. Nope, not good logic. Can't assume a battery is good just because you bought it new and never or barely used it. Put it in a battery charger and see what happens. Or put it in another mod if you have one. Or test it's voltage on a digital multimeter if you have one. Also clean the contacts both on the battery and on the mod. If you stored that battery inside the mod, most likely the quiescent current of the mod drained the battery over time and the battery vented to make the diaphragm inside trip. Can verify this with a multimeter as it would read 0 volts. When this happens, the battery is done as there is no way to safely push that diaphragm back in (I did it once but never again). I have had this happen to batteries stored in Yihi mods. Never store a battery inside any mod long term. If not gonna use the mod for a few days or more, remove the battery. [/QUOTE]
