USB Charger not Charging

[GrnDZer0]

I'm a brand new vaper, I tried to post this in the Technical Issues Forum, but I'm too noob I guess.

I have a brand new Desan USB 901 charger. When I try to charge a battery with it,the light stays solid green whether there is a battery inserted or not.

When a battery is in the charger there seems to be no threading, only a spring latch to hold the battery in. It feels very loose. the Battery LED does not flash at all, like the 5 times it will flash in the wall charger.

I left a battery in the USB charger for 8 hours, it had enough of a charge to light up the LED, but not enough to work the atomizer.

Is my USB charger defective, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance,

Sounds like you may have a charger for an 801 with larger thread size. That's why the 901 won't screw into it.

I got a charger for 801. But it can charge all of my other batts! It is not a screw in type, it is a push in. Do not ask me where I got it - cannot remember =) Ordered from too many places =(

Sorry, forgot what I was going to say =) I had the same issue with light staying green.
Bought another one =( Then discovered that my batts were at full charge =)
What you need to check is this. If you put your batt into the charger and the led on the batt flashes but charger light stays green, make sure battery is not fully charged. vape on it for a bit and try again. Mine is a push type, so sometimes it flashes but you need to move the batt a bit before it starts charging - needs better connections

I don't think there is any threading in this charger, just a spring-lever to try and hold the battery in.

When I stick the battery in I get no LED activity at all from the battery, no blinks at all. Is the battery not seating correctly in the charger? The battery wiggles side-to-side very easily, even when the spring-lever is closed. It's like the battery is not getting a connection to the charger at all. These batteries work with the screw-in wall plug charger. Should I return / replace this USB charger, or would all chargers seat (or not seat) these batteries the same way?

Have you tried pushing it in and wiggling at the same time? And if you have, did the light flicker between green and red?

I have a usb charger and often I'll have to fiddle with it just right to get the light to stay red. I'm using both my 901 and 510 in mine.

I have the spring loaded charger as well, and is finicky as all hell. I just jiggle my 901 battery in it until is shows red, then slowly set it down lol!

The one problem Ive noticed is if I have a battery I know is low but not cashed, I get a red light on my wall plug, but still get green on my USB charger. Just try to cycle batteries using the wall plug, and get a passthru for when you're near your comp, its a godsend.

I used the USB charger successfully on 901 batteries from a different kit, I also noticed the battery I was originally trying to charge with only works in one of my two atomizers.
Is it possible the battery connection on one or two batteries is spaced deeper in than on other batteries?
When I hook the questionable battery in the first atty, when I draw it lights up the LED, but no vapor is produced. I thought it was low charge, but I fully charged it in my wall charger. It works with a different atty fine.

So I guess my new question is: Is there any way to bridge a spacing gap in the recess battery connection? I believe that is the source of my problems.
