[QUOTE="axtyr, post: 679173, member: 2282"] G'day Scott. Those contacts in the battery pack look stuffed. If the cleaning doesn't work you might be able to replace them depending on how they are inserted. If you have any old battery operated toys that aren't being used anymore, and don't have corroded contacts, you should be able to remove them and replace them in your battery pack. The dual contacts are normally push in. They might even be available individually at Jaycar. The contact will have the "positive" spring on one side and the "negative" bump on the other. The only issue you might have is you have to solder the wires back onto the first and last contacts. If you're still plumbing then I'm sure you will know an electrician that can do that for you. You will need 4 sets of contacts. 3 should just push in and the other one (for the soldered ends) you can cut with your tin snips and prune it to have a little tab to solder on to. Regards Axtyr.
