DNA 200 charging problems

Whom ever installs it will need to cut the plug off the end of the new battery (one wire at a time), strip and tin one wire with solder, remove old battery’s corresponding wire from the board, solder the new battery wire to the board. Repeat process with other wire. Whom ever does it needs to be very careful not to short the new battery wires or short the positive (red) wire to the board screw hole next to the board positive connection, which is electrically tied/connected to the ground (black wire connection).

That is one reason I made a suggestion to just cut the wires of the old battery (as close as possible to the battery) and just buy a connector to solder onto the wires. Then it’s an easy soldering and connecting process (and any possible future disconnecting). The only possible issue would be having enough space to put the wires and connectors.

Another note of interest, when the new battery gets put in put something (like a thin piece of hard plastic) between the 510 positive pin connection and the bottom of the battery (it can be taped to the battery). It looks like there is a potential for the 510 positive (which will stick out more with an Atomizer on the Mod) to cause abrasive or puncture damage to the bottom of the battery over time.
