So I have a Snow wolf mini. But my string in the battery compartment that helps get the battery out came out. Is it safe to super glue it back in? I worry because I don't want to be in danger.
Yes, you can glue it back in, but it's just as easy to roll the battery up slightly with your finger and pull upward away from the positive contact. The contacts are rounded in a way that doesn't damage the wrap on the battery anyway.
To repair it effectively, you have to remove the screws on the battery sled and lift it up to get to the bottom side where the battery ribbon is secured.

Whoops sorry bumped wrong button and posted your response again... But thank you Dave. I was thinking of that other way to do to. But I just didn't know now that I have glued it in and the battery doesn't sit all the way in and I force it in. It's not even I put a lot of glue, it's because the string got little glue on it and stiffened up. So didn't know if that was OK. I just worry because don't want to trigger it in any way and for one exploding on me.
BTW - Welcome to the ECF.
Your welcome. I hope I am not being dumb with me asking these dumb questions. I want to make sure I'm safe with the glue and forcing battery in little bit. I don't want anything bad to happen.
Those Aren't/Weren't Dumb Questions at all. Especially when it comes to a Safety Concern.

I don't have the Snow Wolf, but I do have the Smok Koopor Plus 200W that looks like the Snow Wolf and from what I understand is a clone of the SW.
Mine has a phenolic resin (black plastic) battery holder with a slot on the left side where the ribbon goes through and is connected underneath the slot. There's a couple of screws on the left side and two below the batteries that hold the battery sled in place. If you are the least bit technical you can take those screws out and lift the battery sled, then glue the ribbon where it's supposed to be secured. That gets it out of the way of the batteries.
ETA: I just took out my battery sled and there's two wires from the battery sled to the mainboard. The ribbon is glued flat to the side of the sled. Once you take out the four screws and flip the sled you will see exactly how the ribbon is secured.
Below is the Snow Wolf 200W. Yours has the ribbon secured in a slot between the batteries. Mine is in a slot on the side with the screws. Either way, once the sled is out you can glue it back in the way it was.

I have at least one box where the batts are so tight that rolling doesn't work so I resort to a wood skewer when that happens lol. So, one thing I've done is simply lay down a long length of ribbon in there under that batts and just not glue them. Put the batteries in over them with the ends sticking out and fold them in when I put the lid on.

Use hot glue. It's safe to use and electricity isn't an issue. I'd take the glue off if you can. In fact I've used hot glue to cover parts I wanted to protect on boxes with a lot of wiring in them.Yeah I've thought if that. But to late already got it in as far as I can. I have to force battery down because the glue. Which I don't really have a lot of glue it's just ribbon little stiff now. Not gonna lie I'm paranoid that by doing that I'm afraid it's going to blow up on me.
OK thank you I'll try and see what I can do.Use hot glue. It's safe to use and electricity isn't an issue. I'd take the glue off if you can. In fact I've used hot glue to cover parts I wanted to protect on boxes with a lot of wiring in them.

I wouldn't suggest Hot Glue as it has no strength. And do not be afraid to ask questions @Lori Croxford it is the members who ask questions but seem to have all the answers that members who are trying to help or assist get annoyed at!
