About a year after getting the battery cells of my electric bicycle changed in winter 2024, it starts turning off when I drive over uneven terrain.I thought it was a fitting issue, because the rubber seal had got loose... Nope. One connector is basically falling to pieces.Battery is a TranzX PST BL15. Bicycle is from 2018.Please don't tell me this is the end of the road (ಥ﹏ಥ)@bikewrench #biking #repairability #rightToRepair #fællesHjerne

Closeup of an e-bike battery's connectors. One of then is... not great, the metal breaking and degraded.

My buddy had to replace the contacts on his battery and ebike this past spring after he absolutely ruined his contacts with snow and gunk. He was able to make due initially with dielectric grease and a contact cleaning but eventually he jiggled too hard on a bump and sparked the contacts. Let me ask if he repaired his battery or replaced it. He had a stock Aventon Level 2 battery from 202...1?
