Newcomers often forget how to turn on/off the battery with 5 rapid clicks (or is it 3?).

It's not uncommon for these eGo batteries to malfunction. Most people have moved on to more dependable battery devices. If you don't figure out a fix, return the battery to the vendor you bought it from.

Howdy and welcome
@Baditude has the right of it.

The Ego battery design is how old by now? 8 years easy. The chances you accidentally turned it off are really high IMHO.
I’ve found personally that if there is a mechanical fault, it’s generally either the switch, which is both annoyingly fragile and not fixable, or the positive center pin which tends to work its way down over time. It can be pried back up again with a pin and some care and patience.

The simplest answer is it's faulty.

Well it should be easy to find out, click it. But, I am also somehow guessing it's faulty a lot of those ego type batteries have been sitting on dusty shelves for quite some time. Just saying.

The simplest answer is it's faulty.

The “when in doubt throw it out” bromide is a reasonable thing to apply to ego batteries as well as replacable ones.

If I knew mine was depleted, I would plug in the charger first, and then slowly screw the battery on. Often, it would move back and forth between red and green. I'd stop when it was saying it was charging. Red?

Your problem could be a result by many different causes.
Could contact:
