hello.out there...new twist two days old ..been on charger since 10:30 am still red..was on yesterday from 5:30 till 10:30..only lasted one hour..is normal?don't want to ruin it or anything?

No...i don't think that is normal. My charges like a normal ego battery and lasts a good long time. I have not actually timed it since I am usually using multiple batteries at a time, but my twist does tend to get more action than my other ego style batts.

more importantly, what are you plugging the charger into?

if a wall wart usb power supply, make sure it puts out at least 5v @ 750ma ... if a computer, make sure you use the front panel USB if available - they put out more power generally.

i plug my ego chargers (normal 4.2v 420ma) into phone chargers that put out 5v @ 750ma - or my pc which will put out 5v @ 1a ... never have a problem with them.

another thought - how tight are you screwing them down? you could be mashing the center terminal sideways ... i just tighten mine until the button blinks and leave it like that. one of my chargers, that takes like 10 turns, the other, about 3 ... and i always screw the battery on with it plugged in just for that reason.

as long as the battery or the ring with the button isn't getting hot to the touch, i wouldn't worry too much.

yet another thought - did you make sure the terminal / threads were clean? juice can gunk those up quick if you are not careful.
