battery Ego-c twist battery problem

[Orc_Sniper]

I recently got an eGo-C Twist from a well trusted friend but almost immediately encountered a problem with charging. When I plug it in, the light is red for a second then stays a solid green. I know the solid green means it is fully charged, but it does not seem to hold a charge longer than 3 seconds. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?

The first thing I would do is to get a Q-tip, dip it in alcohol and clean out the connection side of the battery as well as the charger to make sure they're clean. After that, I'd lift the center pin of the battery just a little so it makes firm contact with the charger.
