18350 Efest recharging

[dragon]

I have no idea how many times it has been charged, we have a few on the go at once, but well ... many.

I just put in in the charger and first it wouldn't do anything, then it said it was fully charged (it isn't) Is this how batteries die? I always assumed they would fade out gradually, as in last less time between charges.

I just want to check before I measure it for it's little coffin

Try cleaning the contacts, big batteries get dirty too.
But I wouldn't hold out much hope, they generally fade out, slow to charge
Fast to discharge and can't get up to voltage, but they can just pack in like yours.

I always thought battery operated equipment was supposed to get round problems of fast discharge and getting it up.

Take two tablets and see the quack in the morning.

I sometimes have to sort of wiggle my batteries in the charger for the charger to recognise them properly.

Me too, but wiggling it, just made it say it was fully charged

I've had ego batteries die on me, but this is a whole new experience for me

Cleaned it with an alcohol wipe and it's charging fine now. Weird because it didn't look at all dirty. I wiggled it loads before I assumed it was dead. I live and learn
