Question Battery plug on mCX2 is not connecting to batteries

Another problem arose last night while flying helicopters at the church gym, not sure if someone was a little to rough plugging in a battery into my mCX2 but for some reason now only 2 out of my 4 batteries will connect into my mCX2.

The batteries aren't the problem because I had my father-in-law plug them into his mCX and they plugged in just fine so it has to be the connector on my helicopter. I just looked at Red Rocket Hobbies and at the Blade website and don't see just the connector available to order. Can that part be replaced? It has to be replaceable, everything else on the helicopter is, does anyone know where I can order that battery connection cord?

The plug has a couple of tiny pins, these must have got slightly bent. Using the tip if a small flat blade screwdriver or similar you should be able to gently ease them back into alignment.

I forgot the name of them, but those connectors should be available at your LHS. If you do need to replace it, just bring it or a battery in and show them, or they may even know if you just tell them what it's for.

Hi
I would try Steve's suggestion because if you go to the Eflites Blade site you will see that the connector only comes with the complete 5in1 unit
Theres no option for just that one connector

Take care dear friend
