I’ve got a fault somewhere in the connection plug on my battery pack. Can I get a new case and flex or connector, or is it for the bin? I’d like to salvage it as it is a relatively expensive aftermarket unit.

Help me STW, you’re my only hope.

Hey,

I'm sure it's salvageable, what pack is it or can you supply a picture of the pack and connector?

Where are you based? I may be able to help directly.

Cheers.

Thanks, not got a picture of my pack with me, but it is a 4 cell unit for a Solar Storm type light.

mtbbatteries.co.uk might do a service / rebuild for you even if you didn't buy it there.

Actually, I think that I did buy it from there. I'll drop them a line.

Result!

The excellent Mark at MTBbatteries has sold me a replacement pouch and lead (at a very good price) and my excellent mate Pete from the Karate Club (who owns an electronics company) is going to splice the new lead onto the old waterproof battery case.

Excellent.
