Not sure if I have a problem with mine or if the behavior is normal. When I first got the x2 each time I plugged it in, the blue led would turn on immediately. I normally plugged it in after 2 days of use. Now it hardly ever turns on when I plug it in (the light under the cap). The battery doesnt seem to be lasting as long either and I wonder if it is charging at all. I have tried different cables and plugging into several different usb 2.0 devices as well as 2 different VOLT wall chargers. Sometimes the light comes on, sometimes nothing. Other times it will sit for awhile maybe 10-15 minutes then suddenly come on? I will plug it in for the night and leave it and although I rarely see the light turn on, it seems to charge? Other times it will turn on immediately, charge for a half hour then off and tend to die very quickly under light use. Other times it will charge for several hours and last 2-3 days of use. Should I be draining the battery down fully until it flashes on the button? Is there some sort of "smart charger" technology built in where it won't top off a half or 3/4 charged battery? Time for a warranty return?
Volt X2 charge indicator led?

Sounds more like an issue with the cable. Give it a wiggle and see if it makes a better connection. If that works, then you might ask to have a replacement cable or find a similar one you have for another product and see if that works better. I can use the same one that came with the mega PCC.
Actually, completely draining the battery before each recharge is going to be harder on the battery, from what I understand.
As far as your charging issue, I agree with starsong that it sounds like a cable (or connection) issue. It is also possible that the USB connector on your battery could be an issue, rather than the battery itself. My blue led occasionally flickers, but is usually remedied when I wiggle the cable.

i agree, it sounds like the cable. try wiggling at the battery. Then I would call si on monday. They are really good at taking care of issues

3 to be exact and 2 are known working good cables that are used on other devices. I tried wiggling, plugging in slowly, small slight angles etc. I honestly think either the led light is not functioning all the time or the internal battery charge monitor is faulty. Either way I'm going to open a ticket with SI and get a replacement before this one runs out of warranty. It's just not acting like it did from the beginning. Too inconsistent and hit or miss for a full charge with a sometimes lit led. I have to get my small batts back before I do so as they are out on loan to a friend lol. Right now i have no backup!
No back ups= bad. But at least the x2 can act as a pass through. That is assuming that you have 2 x2's.
Led must be inop. I used the x2 until it flashed on the button. Plugged it in and nothing. Checked it 30 minutes later and still nothing but it did feel slightly warm as if it was charging. I let it sit plugged in overnight and it seems to be fully charged up today yet the charge led under the cap never turned on that I saw.
Ya, Bizzar; it sounds like the charging assembly in the end of your batt has a bad connection or two.
I leave the cable always on my batt, after some use the led light's up indicating that the device is charging.
All this is normal cause it isn't really a passtrough, when you vape the energy comes from the battery, once the battery gets below a specific threshold the charger starts and get's the vattery voltage at full levels.
When you plug out the battery, vape a bit and then replug that doesn't mean that the battery needs charging and may start at some later time.

you most likely just need to have the cable replaced...and it is not being fully charged due to a bad connection. Just let Cs know on our contact us page and they will replace the cord
