Hi, there's a quadcopter I'm trying to fix, the problem is that one wire coming from the battery is broken.
AFAICT, the battery is a low-capacity li-ion, of a type I haven't seen before.
I posted some pictures at http://imgur.com/a/FkAKV
First I reattached the wire using some tape (to the nearest contact, where I saw the broken part in the first picture), and I think it worked for 0.5 sec, then it stopped working.
Now I opened those wrapping tapes some more, soldered the wire a little bit to the same place, but it didn't work at all (and it broke off again in the meantime). I tried both powering the quadcopter and charging the battery (it has a special USB charging cable), but no luck. So I don't know what to do now... please help?
I hope this is not too off-topic.

Hmm, it looks like it's possible to buy similar batteries online. I guess I could do that if I fail to fix it.
