V2 Charger Problems

[TheScrye]

I just received my V2 a week ago and am having some issues with the batteries and charger.

When I first used them and charged them I was getting a good long use out of one of the sets. The other I couldn't get to last more then a couple of minutes, even after charging over night. Now all of a sudden, no matter how long I leave either set on the charger, I can barely get 10 full inhales out them.

I've noticed that when I put them on the charger, the light turns red for about 5 mins and then goes green. Which I imagine, the green light means the charger thinks they are fully charged. If I press down on the battery on the left, it goes back to red, I let go, back to green.

If I put one battery in the left side, it stays red, switch the battery to the right side it goes green. So, my prediction, the left connections aren't connecting like they should. Or, my predictions on how the indication light works is wrong. Help please.

The chargers for the LiFePO4 Tenergy batteries leave a lot to be desired. I have 4 of them and only one of them works well. I have pulled the contact bar out to make it connect better, but that doesn't really work well for me either. You might just have to deal with it by situating each battery in the charger so the light is red, and then be sure not to move it while engaged.

Take a nail file .. small scissors .. something like that .. and _gently_ lift the bottom tabs of your charger ..... you probably have a lose connection .....

Alright so after toying with it, prying on tabs, hitting it, smashing it, and general BFH like techniques. I got it to turn red. When before toying with it and shortly after typing the first message the charger stopped recognizing the batteries altogether. Even pressing down on the plus ends didn't work like it had before.

So in general, I learned that the BFH still works. Maybe... hopefully. The general 901 battery just isn't giving me what I want anymore.
