My new battery case seems to have short where it connects to be charged. I have to place a heavy object on the connector for it to work. Help?

Its either that the charging cable is messed up or the charging connector of the case itself is damage/tampered-some. Im not too sure upon how to fix it.

I had a similar problem, you should be able to get a replacement case, via a cross ship, as to not leave you without the case till the replacement comes. See my review http://www.amazon.com/review/RKNVQGPQ31LOF/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00GG0S00A

I believe I ran it back to the neg side of the battery since the system does not use the chassis for a ground.Just touch it and see if whatever you are hooking up works .

My unit charges in the stand without any of the attachments stuffed into the front port. Sounds like your motor is DOA.

See if there is a plastic tab that is preventing he battery from making contact. If it has one you may have to pull it out. If it's not that then it's just because the unit is likely defective. It's a super cheaply made unit.

Maybe you should charge the battery first so that there is energy left. If not work then something could be wrong I guess

Slide the top in first to match the connectors, large connector (negative) on the left. Then push the bottom part in to the battery compartment. Good luck.

If I remember right it came with somewhat of charge, then I recharged it fully. My connector is messed up too, I have to sit it on its side to charge.

I'm guessing the plug in your connector is round, this one is oval with 8 holes connection. If oval and connection work, I don't see, why not Word of caution! if you don't unplug from battery when charging it will burn out circuit board. Mine did!! sorry couldn't be more help! charging

I have had that a couple of times and my solution was to remove the back plate and make sure the charging contacts are fullyy engaged. In my specific case I have the charging pad mounted to the underside of my back plate not to the battery. Ive also bent the snout of the charging pad (where the contacts are located) away from the underside of the back plate so when mounting the back plate the contacts can line up better. This is not necessary if youve taped the charging plate to the battery. If youve taped the charging plate to the battery and your confident the charging contacts are fully engaged then I would look to the I have had that a couple of times and my solution was to remove the back plate and make sure the charging contacts are fullyy engaged.

Remove battery bay cover on the underside of the unit, gently pry out battery pack from bay and then gently pull on battery pack until you see a small white connector in line with the wires. The connector may get caught in the side port so look for this if you don't see the connector. Gently pull on either side of the connector until the connector separates. Plug the new battery pack in the connector half attached to the unit, carefully feed the extra wire through the side port, seat the battery pack in the bay and re-install the cover.

I assumed the exact thing - battery didn't seem to fit. The battery is smaller then the inset in the charger. Just match the positive Battery terminal to the positive sign on the charger (extreme right looking at it) and it snaps in medium tight -and does charge.

There is a tiny tab that you have to push down when removing the wire from the battery. try using a pen to do so. It is located between the wire and where the metal clip connects.

Natalie, that charger shown above does not charge the battery you have, i bought it thinking it would but the charging contacts are not on the sides but from the bottom. hope this helps

Batteries may not be charging up? Contacts for charger may not be making contact, the "fit" on my unit is sloppy!

The approach I have used is to simply re-use the connectors from my old battery that I am replacing. One example of how this is done is on the referenced youtube video link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rkFtqrwhDU

When inserting a battery do not push the battery all the way in. The bottom of the battery (where the connectors are not located) will slightly protrude out of the charging unit but the battery will still charge. This is evident by the color change LED light on the top of the unit.

You have to hold it. Then it should charge. If not try charging the case. Still not working return it for a refund
