All my batteries have a little circle on the positive post as if my pin burned a little circle into my battery. Why is it doing this? I'm running a FUHatten.

1. Could be copper oxidation from the positive pin.
2. FUHatten mods have a solid pin that doesn't move.
It could be a bit short, causing a slight arc, which could leave a black mark on the battery.

In mechanical mods every time you hit the button to make contact with the battery a small spark is generated there. Each time this happens a very small divot is melted off of the contact surfaces.

I use a Reo Grand for most of my vaping. It has a door that can be taken off the mod and the mod can still be fired. When I do that and fire the atty I can see the spark.

All my batts have this circle of tiny divots on the positive end. It doesn't make any difference to performance. I do give them a slight rub with 1200 grit sandpaper every month or so, but I doubt that makes any difference to this issue :)
