Ego batteries not working.

[divegirl]

I have three batteries that now don't work! One may well have died of old age, but two are new! Arghhhhhhh

They all light up blue when on the charger, the indicator light turns green but when I take them off... nothing, the blue light doesn't come on at all.

Any ideas?

If they're new, get in touch with the vendor you purchased them from

[divegirl]

I will do, but was wondering if there could be a reason, the two new ones are from different sellers so it seemed a little strange. I charge them via the pc if that matters :0/ Oh and to top it all, one I bought a while back and I can't remember who from

You could try this

but, if new, i think you should talk to the vendor first

Ooooo I'll have a look, thank you.

just wondering if they are the 5 clicks on/off batteries............have you tried clicking the button 5 times quickly??

Not being funny, but if the blue light doesn't come on at all as you say have you actually switched them on assuming they are 5 click on/off? It has happened before

Yeh I was going to say the 5 click on/off button. It's not the pin as the light would still come on.

Hit the button 5 times within 2 seconds to turn it on/off. Let us know how you get on.

Welcome to the Doofus's Club.

Been there, done it, got the T-shirt to prove it.

ha ha the riva was 3 clicks. the spinner was 5. now i click everything 10 times or more

[Roscopecotrain]

Quite a lot of people do this. Me included when i first started.
Now my ego batteries take anywhere between 3 and 8 clicks to get them powered on.
My vamo is the same. Some times 5. Some times 6 and some times even 7.
