About a year after getting the battery cells of my electric bicycle changed in winter 2024, it starts turning off when I drive over uneven terrain.

I thought it was a fitting issue, because the rubber seal had got loose... Nope. One connector is basically falling to pieces.

Battery is a TranzX PST BL15. Bicycle is from 2018.

Please don't tell me this is the end of the road (ಥ﹏ಥ)

Closeup of an e-bike battery's connectors. One of then is... not great, the metal breaking and degraded.

@JayleneSlide Time to get some education! Thanks for the tips.

I looked at the controller's pins and they seem fine, but I'll clean them just in case.

I honestly think the shop that changed the cells did a shoddy job and I'm now paying the price. I found out three of the pins to close the battery are completely broken, so hopefully this doesn't mean the inside got corrosion too.
