I have owned two Ego V passthrough batteries and their charging cables for a couple of months. The problem I am having with both kits is that there seems to be a bad connection in the cables. I have to constantly reposition or move the batteries around for them to begin charging. It seems like this problem is gradually getting worse. This is extremely frustrating. I am hoping that someone who reads this has had this problem and solved or that someone may have some type of technical advise. Please, any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I don't know if your situation is the same as mine, but when I had a V, the constant pulling of the usb cable eventually pulled the bottom cap of the battery loose and it came out. I just pushed it back in and it started to charge again, but you had to be sure to angle it correctly. I didn't really try to fix it, but I imagine you could tape it, and then cut out the usb with an exacto knife or something.

For me though, at that point I just upgraded my device.

Thanks for your reply and advice, fatb0y. I haven't had any problem with the caps coming off. The problem seems to lie in the interior connections that may not be making permanent contact (somehow). After fiddling with the cables, contact is usually reestablished and the batteries charge, but this is gradually becoming more difficult to attain. Your input is greatly appreciated.
