Power issues with RAPT Pill?

[GreenEnvy22]

I bought a Kegland RAPT Pill (floating Wifi hydrometer like Tilt) in February and used it a few times, I really like it.
However on my last brew, it never reported in.
After the batch was complete, I removed it and plugged it into USB. The battery level was reported at 100%, and connected to Wifi.
I decided to recalibrate it, so I entered calibration mode. However, as soon as I unplug the USB cable, it goes dead. The Wifi disconnects, LED's all goes out.
It should stay on in access point mode for a few minutes so you can calibrate.
I tried charging the battery for a couple of days, but no difference. I tried a factory reset, but that didn't help either. I confirmed the battery polarity is correct.
I've emailed kegland for help, but wondering if anyone else has had something like this?
I'm assuming it must either be a defective battery, or the unit itself has some issue running from battery.

Never mind, I removed the battery, and bent the contact pins out on the battery holder, and now it's fine. Must have just been a poor connection there.

That's exactly what happened to mine. I bent the contacts out just a little and it fixed the issue.

This is good to know in case I have problems with mine. Do the contact pins tend to get bent when removing/replacing the battery?

 

[GreenEnvy22]

Not sure Mike, I hadn't removed the battery since originally installing it. They might have just been a bit weak (too compressed) from the factory, so over time, they lost contact.

Cheers, have been having intermittent issues with it not working but seemed to work when not in a brew
Finally found this post and bend the contact pins out a little - happy days now working solid again!
