flat top battery not making connection

[doctadrea]

This may seem like a duh question, but my flat top battery isn't touching the positive post of my little battery holder. Can I just put a bit of solder to put a nipple on the battery holder to solve the issue?

PS, the true duh part of it all is I didn't even think about this... I wasn't getting any power, and had no idea why for the longest time.... But yea, if that and a ruined switch due to a super glue incident are the worst things that happen on my first diy adventure, I'll throw a party and dance around like a kangaroo.

what about battery spacer? is it too much?

Soldering batteries is a bad idea. (Heat...) There is a reason why lead tabs are tack welded onto batteries in a split second instead.

I could order some (nowhere to buy stuff like in my tourist driven town) but I was hoping for a faster solution. But yea, I can wait. No rush, I'm just excited.

I meant add solder to the battery holder, not the battery itself.

I have resolved many gap problems with a folded piece of foil. and yes a gob of solder on the battery holder works..

IF you can take the batt contact out
maybe dimple it with a phillips head screwdriver

if you cannot take it out make a paste of flour and sugar add butter bake for 15-20 mins
now what you have is a butter cookie

Sweet. Just a little droppy drop done did the trick.

Just got the new switches in today... filed a hole for the button, soldered some stuff, tested it, and... It works!!! I built a thing!!


Now I'm just waiting for the jbweld to set.
Next adventure: getting the 510 in exactly the right place to screw in an internal 35x15mm cartotank.
