I've had my Vision Spinner 1300mah battery for about a month now, and so far it's worked great. However, today as I was vaping on it, the light flashed approximately 15 times and the battery cut off. Now, the only thing it will do when I press the button is flash 15 times. I tried charging it, the light does not come on except when pressed (and even then it just flashes 15 times) and the light on the charger remains green. Is my battery dead or is there something I can do to fix it? I was really hoping that it would last me more than a month, seems like kind of a rip-off.

Spinners are great. I've had two for several months and they work beautifully - don't give up yet. 15 flashes could mean there's a short in your atomizer. The green light on the charger means the Spinner is fully charged (when depleted, they only flash five times). Try another topper and see if that helps, or try changing your coil. Also, do a search on ECF for other posts on the same subject, which may have other useful tips. Good luck 
15 (or so, hard to count ) flashes indicates a dead battery. Subsequent button presses without charging will give the same result.
Green light on the charger without the Spinner light being on indicates a bad connection to the charger. Unplug the charger from the wall wart (or usb port), take the battery off and clean both contacts. A swab dipped in rubbing alcohol works well, or a twist of tissue dipped in same. Allow ample time to dry. Then try charging again. The charger should go red, the battery light will go on for a large part of the charge cycle. Once the battery light goes off, leave it ON the charger until the charger light goes green for a full charge.
If that doesn't do it, you may have attached your topper too tightly and pushed the contact pin of the battery in a tad. Doesn't take much to lose the connection. Easy fix. Many of us have done the damage and the fix.
Turn the battery OFF. (5 fast clicks.) Using a jewelers screwdriver, eye end of a large sewing needle (careful, the other end is sharp), straightened out paper clip, put it down into the top of the battery next to the post and lever up gently. Go about 1/4 of the way around and repeat. Go all around that way, gently. You probably only need 1 mm or less of upward movement.
Turn it back on and try again.
Good luck!

Just curious if you were using dual coils.... I know they affect (blow short protection on) eGos, wonder if Spinners as well.. see my dual coil post.

Well, no idea what was wrong, but I'm assuming a little bit of moisture or juice must have gotten between the contacts and shorted them. I set it upside down and left it alone for awhile and now it's working fine. Thanks for the replies!
i was going to say, maybe it was dead AND the center post might be pushed down also - no connection to charger or atomizer.
seeing as its working now, i guess i was wrong.

I've had the same trouble. I have had two Spinners for about a month, and one of them has gone dead on me. When I try to charge it, the charger has a green light saying that it is charged. It's just gone dead.
I can only guess some e-liquid has gotten under the pin. It does look loose and out of place compared to my other Spinner. I'm always very careful as to how tight I screw my heads. I usually like them a little loose for good air flow.
I have sent it back to be repaired, or exchanged.
