Problem with eGo battery... or charger ?

[m401 user]

After trying disposable Q510 from Boge, i decided to buy an eGo battery along with fast USB charger to get nice upgrade. Battery came fully charged, and i am pretty impressed with it´s performance, but then i came across this weird behavior: after eGo battery flashed, signalizing it needs a charge, so i screw it to that USB charger cord and plugged it into USB port. It flashed, so i was thinking "okay, it´s charging" and forget it for 2 hours. after that, i looked at charging battery, LED was green so i guessed "ok, charged already" and pulled it out. Then i toke few puffs (maybe 3) and the LED flashed that it needs recharge. Strange, so i waited, maybe it´s cutoff, and pushed button again... no avail. So i screwed the charger in again, and plugged it into USB... flashed again, but the LED stays green.
I´m going to wait next 2 hours to see what happens, but i want to ask, what seems to you to be faulty: battery, or charger?
I don´t have regular 510 charger to try it, only other 510 charger i have is that from disposable PV, IIRC it can´t be used to charge regular batt, nor eGo. May be my USB port malfunctioning somehow? I used it to charge Q510 successfully... Can i use wall adapter for M401 with this fast 510 charger? I´m afraid i can´t
How can i check whether the charger is ok or not?
How can i check if the battery itself is not malfunctioning?
BTW, everything is from Heaven gifts, so it will take two weeks to send for replacement, and another two weeks to get replacement back...
i need my eGo...

If I were you I'd get another usb quick charger from either cignot or TW and perhaps a few more things to make up for the shipping - perhaps even another battery, and then try the battery you have on the charger to see if it charges. If it does, then it's the old charger. If not then it's the battery. Send back the one that is broken to Heaven Gifts.
