Orange light on charger?

[imogensmummy]

Now I thought you only got a green light or a red light?

Mine is orange and the charger will not charge and my only battery has run out.

Help please?

What battery and charger do you have?

The Ego battery standard and a usb charger that came with it

Not much help I know - I know it's 510 threaded :/

Is is orange only when the battery is charging? If so, it probably means the battery is getting near to full charge.

Is it orange when the battery is not connected? If so, unfortunately, it is probably goosed.

You do have a backup, don't you? ???

[imogensmummy]

No

And it's on even when battery is not charged. We only bought the kit two weeks ago!
Any idea what might have caused it?

I didnt even know the ego chargers had an orange light fred lol. Hope you have spares imogensmummy.

First things first give the contacts on the battery and charger a clean. Vodka and a cotton bud will do. Then try lifting the pin on the battery slightly like this


See how you go with that.

Another idea. Are you charging it via usb or mains?

They don't!!

BUT - 

one of mine (and several other people's) turns the both green & red on a bit as it's nearing completion, thus giving an orangey colour (it may pulse them, but it's so quick you can't see).

imogensmummy - mass-produced electronics would be the cause, if it is goosed. Get in touch with the vendor, and they may replace it.

GET A BACKUP & a backup for your backup (it's been said before, but the paradisevape blister pack will give you a backup charger, battery & clearo)

So  if the battery is not connected, is the light orange?

Do you have a multimeter to test it?

[imogensmummy]

I have tried both mains and usb and neither way is working Roscopecotrain

fred yep even when battery is not connected the light is orange. It's like both lights are on inside it. Nope I have not got a multimeter, I don't think I actually know what one is

Rubbish. I have no other ideas then im afraid. Might be worth contacting the vendor.

imogenmummy - have you cleaned it as roscopecotrain suggested ? if that has not worked then get in touch with the seller and ask advice from them, l have those battery's and the usual problem is you have to lift the pin inside as if it has gone to low down it won't conect so seems not to be working but will once you lift the pin and as they have said the 'orange' light is actually between the green and red l have had it its not a true colour PM me if you want

[fred]

But before you do anything else, order a backup

You could take it apart & have a look, but as you don't know what a multimeter is, I dont recommend it.

Order a backup, then contact the vendor - they'll probably help you out
