So on one of my Ego batteries, the connection post on the battery is too far down and my atties have to be scrwed down quite tight to touch it. Hell my tank atties don't even reach it. I've wiggled it up and it works fine, but eventually gets pushed back down again.

Anyways I decided I'd melt some solder and put a single drop on the post to raise up the connection. Problem is that now all my atties short out because the solder bridges the gap between the center connection on the atty and the threads.

Not sure what to do. I could try wicking away the solder I guess, but this still doesn't solve my initial problem. Only thing I think of is attaching a small piece of metal that won't bridge the connection. Any ideas?

To be clear, it doesn't short when there's no atty. I did a pretty clean job of it and there's no solder anywhere except on the post.

You could remove the solder you installed and align the connection to the proper position and super glue around the bottom so it fill under the positive connection

The other option is more advanced would be to remove the sleeve of the battery and re glue the bottom of the connection from the inside .
The wired inside the battery's are short so there is a chance you can rip them out of there solder when you take the sleeve off
