Stripped twist batt?

[Cappified]

I have my ego twist for about 4 months and now it cannot screw on to the charger. I may get it to barely hang up within the threads to charge but it's barely on there. I assume the threads are stripped on the batt, it looks a bit worn in there, hard to see if its the charger tho. Any tricks or fixes? Is this time frame normal?

Is it the battery that is stripped or the charger? In answer to your question, I’ve had my Ego-type batteries for over a year, in heavy use, with no problems. They have a connector on the bottom though but no problems until I had to use an adapter on them for a different tank. The adapter stripped two of them. I’d be more than a bit put off if my batteries had stripped because of the charger after just four months. Could it be you were screwing them on too tight?

Can't say I've ever stripped any ego batteries. However, stripping is quite common with over tightening the toppers and chargers, among a variety of other problems including depressed center pins, etc. If you are, in fact, stripped, there's no coming back from it and the battery will have to be replaced, I'm afraid. Welcome to the Forum and good luck!

I was screwing the battery onto the charger to much and I thought is was clicking but it was actually stripping it. Now I just screwy new batt on a little as possible until it lights up to charge.

If you have a 510 to ego connector try putting that on the twist before putting it on the charger. I have one that is the same way and that's what I do.
