I've got a situation...
My battery holder isn't contacting with the positive end of the certain battery I have, thus resulting in not being able to power any of the parts in my saber.
Anybody know how I can fix this situation DIY or will I need to purchase a different battery cell/battery holder?

I was trying to post a picture, but somehow I couldn't.
This is the battery holder:

Well, that's an unprotected battery so I would say chalk it up as bad purchase and buy the right battery. You'll want a button top battery that is PCB/PCM protected. There are trust fires in stock now.

You can solder a bit of metal (or just a glob of solder) to allow electrical connection. Solder to the battery holder (less dangerous) or to the battery itself (be careful of overheating!).

Thank you. I bought a pack of trust fires, and I'll try what you mentioned.
