Anyone ever had their 510 manual battery turn on and the blue led light doesn't shut off? It doesn't appear to be drawing any power. If I put the atty back on it and push the button it doesn't light it. When I put it in the charger it still stays blue and the charger wont charge it. It worked fine all day till just now. I been rotating batteries.
510 battery light staying on

I haven't had this problem with a manual battery, however, it did happen once with an automatic... juice can get into the battery and make it 'stick'. It still sounds like the button or a connection inside the battery is stuck, though. Since you can't clean a battery (that I know of), I would just gently hit it against my hand or something soft and see if it unsticks. It may have gotten juice inside it somehow or maybe it's just plain ol' battery failure.
Hope you can get it working

Well, It appears that it is just dead. There was no juice in it at all. No power registering at all when I hit the button or not. Using a volt meter, I tested the other batteries and at full charge, they were 3.85. This battery which was working fine just a few seconds before hand, is not registering any power even though the light is on. I noticed that the vapor production had come down so I was getting ready to charge it. The light came on shortly after I pulled the atomizer off and hasn't cut off since. Doesnt appear that the button is stuck or anything, it clicks every time you click it. I tried tapping it on the edge of the desk, nothing. the blue led just stays on. I would hate to contact the seller again, I had a cartomizer that was doa in my package and he sent me out another one. I got a couple more batteries coming so I should be ok.
I-35 Electronics is where I got my order from. The guy has been very nice. One of the cartomizers I had was bad and he already has shipped me out a new one. I got a couple other batteries coming anyway, so I will probably just eat the cost on this battery. Not really his fault, just looks like something shorted in it.
Ok, I couldn't take it any longer. I took the battery out and figured out why the light was staying on and it wouldn't charge. There is a red wire going from the bottom of the battery where the light is, and goes down the length of the battery to a small circuit board that has the switch on it. The red wire that is supposed to be connected to the circuit board was hanging and was not connected to anything. As soon as I touched it to the terminal that it should have been soldered to, the light blinked and then went out. Unfortunately, there is no way I can solder that small of a connection. I dont have a small enough tip for my solder gun for it, let alone being able to get the sealed end of the battery compartment to come out so that I could solder everything and slide it back in.
At least the mystery is solved and I can sleep better tonight lol. I just couldn't leave that thing sitting around glowing as I had no idea what it would do. In RC flying, I deal a lot with lithium polymer batteries and I know how dangerous they can be if over charged or overly discharged.
