Batteries Not Contacting Terminal

[Aurora Jackalis]

Hi guys,

I've got a toy where the batteries don't reach their terminal:

In fact I bought 7 of the Jumanji roaring animals second hand. 5 seem to have the design flaw.

1 of the flawed 5 seems to have had the terminal bent so that it protrudes more to make contact. I thought the previous owner may have done this & thought I'd give it a try with a screwdriver. It felt like the plastic would give way before the terminal. There's also the wiring connected which was being subjected to force. So mission aborted.

I'd think the batteries are the same internationally:

I wanted to find a solution. And now I know aluminium conducts electricity:

Wondering how reliable this is? Can it burn out? Hot joint? Cause leakage?

Thanx

You should be fine, if you want to try another method you could use a pen spring and use it in place of the foil.

That should be fine.
I was going to suggest that you put a drop of solder on the contact.
