went go to work this morning and about half way I lost all power

i double checked all connections, took it home and now I have an issue with the battery and battery holder..

I have a dolphin battery pack
I clip the battery in, if I push it up it works! if i left it sit in its original position I loose power. (this is after lots of trouble shooting with all the cables and connections)

so the battery is locked in, but now the contacts dont make a full connection!

any quick fixes here? I have a few mind, but wondering if others have experienced this
Im not liking the battery I got from BMSbattery at all. problem after problem :(
 
was going to delete this, but thought id post my fix (hopefully its permanent)

I bent the connections outward on the battery and it now holds in place.
I just cant believe all sorts of issues are happening with this ebike kit :(
 
I've been using those dolphin batteries for four years and I've never had a connection issue. If it gives problems again, you can remove both connectors to leave holes, then add a short length of wire and add your favourite connectors - Deans for me.
 
thanks, Yeah I might have to look at changing the connections if this happens again
