Weird 901 battery.

[Treetheater]

I've had this 901 battery for ~2 months now, and every once in a while this will happen: I'll go to charge it up, and the light will turn red while I'm screwing it in, but then green once it's fully in, even though I know it's not charged. While this is going on, it pretty much constantly does the red blinking in about 3-5 second cycles. The blinking continues for a good 10 seconds after I take it off the charger too. This just happened twice, but it starting charging normally on the third try.

Is this some sort of sign? I've read a couple things about funky 901 battery's so I'm not too surprised/worried, I just want to know if I should be thinking about buying a new one soon.

Sorry to double post, but it seems like this battery is acting up again. It's definitely not fully charged and the red light won't seem to go on whenever i charge it. It vapes completely fine, it just seems to be so weird when it comes to being charged lately. It blinks when I put it on the charger, it blinks once it's screwed in, it blinks when I take it off, it blinks when i throw it on the table IT JUST WONT STOP BLINKINGGGG.


I did have some success last night combating this problem. It was dong this, so I took it, vaped on it for about 10 minutes, and then it charged fine. Do I just have a very peculiar battery or what?

Try taking a paper clip and pushing it gently into the small hole and try to move the switch back and forth, sometimes they stick or suck and blow on the end back and forth a few times, this will also help free it up or "unstick" it. Always wipe your battery end off where it attatches to the atty to prevent juice from leaking into it.

Well I blew and sucked on the battery thread for a couple seconds, then I put it up to the charger threads and waited for the led to stop blinking. After that, I noticed that if I pushed the battery down and held it, the light on the charger went red. So I just screwed it in from there and it's charging like normal. I guess it's fixed, for now. If not, I know how to fix it. I guess.

I need a manual battery
