901 Battery Surgery - I need a doctor!

[strell]

I have a white 901 battery that went to pieces last night. My wife was unscrewing it from the charger and the main battery housing came loose from the small base that screws into the atomizer/charger.

From what I can see there is really only one small wire that connects the housing to the connector - has anyone successfully reattached this piece? If so, any advice? If not, does anyone know where I can find the cheapest white 901 batteries in stock?

I think you will find there should be 2 wires.

1 to the center of the connector the other to the outer.

Try not to get them too hot when soldering back as the small "silicon bush" can fail.

When re attaching to the main body a little silicon gel may be needed to help seal the housing

. Hope this helps. ( sure there are those better informed than me though)

This is really clear and good advice - thank you! Unfortunately there is definitely only one wire; I wonder if the other broke off. I will poke around a little more to see if I can find where it should have contacted and try to solder a new wire.

The annoying thing is I noticed the housing was loose a couple of days ago and meant to super-glue it together but never got around to it.
