Borked battery?

[boo]

My Ego T battery, which granted ive had several months has suddenly started flashing when I press the button and there's no vape?

Is it truly busted? Is it repairable? Or is it destined for the great big E Cig cloud in the sky?

Luckily I do have another- but the thought of lasting any length of time on just the one battery is making me sweat with panic.

I think if it was me I would winkle the centre post up a bit and put it on charge for a bit before chucking it.

will give it a go. Whats worse than can happen? Thanks Pam.

I reckon the battery is past it and can't supply the load..These things have a lifespan of roughly 4-6 months of continuous usage so if you have had it for a few months, you have been fortunate that it lasted as long as it did.

Paradisevape has some really inexpensive replacements if you want some backups..Ego/RIVA type batteries really are consumables..

I know Macca, and I was wanting confirmation really that it really was buggered before I binned it. I'd have been devastated if id chucked it and it turned out to be a simple fixable problem.

Your kind suggestion didn't work Pam by the way

I do still have one left, and a few looky likey's that'll will see me through till i get paid in a week and I can buy another.

That's a shame worth a go I guess.

Boo even if it is completely deaded, don't chuck it. A dead ego battery still has uses - it can hold an atty while you re-wick it, it can hold something that is reluctant to be pulled apart, etc etc. One day you might be very glad of just it's holding capabilty
