No probs, glad you sorted it out bud. 
in my very humble opinion on SRAM I would say the product/s in general is made pretty sub standard. I constantly need to fiddle with my brand new battery charger as well. 

Both the batteries and charger are very pricey imho.  Sure once fully charged, the batteries last long but not sure why its so pricey compared to other batteries & chargers .... 🤷‍♂️

This exact thing happened to me.  At first I thought it was a faulty battery cause I’d charge it full then ride for a short while (rear derailleur battery low) which was puzzling.

Yesterday in a race my main battery died, swopped to my spare, dead.  Then later tried to other batteries nothing worked.  SS for 35km = legs on fire LOL.  

That led me to the LBC and there they told me about the pin issue.

Eish, now to find POP and get a new one.  Think of me peeps.

I recently bought some SRAM components off Merlin Cycles in the UK, literally less then half the price of our local shark.

To be very honest I broke a SRAM charger to cannibalise a pin. Perhaps if you can find a technical specification of either the charger or the actual mec. 

[guidodg]

how about these?

Hi. I see you obtained a strip of  these pins.  Was it from the site you mentioned above and was the size correct ? On pic it looks a bit too long, but if so perhaps a larger hole, back insert and spacer on the soldering size ?

Anyway I have the same pin problem and will glady pay you for 2 pins ?

Hi all,

I'm really happy I found this topic!

 Please someone reply about the correct height of the pins.

My bike runs xx1 axs and one of them collapsed.

For now, I put a small piece of foil, but I need to fix it permanently.

I'm a disaster with soldering, so I found a guy who is a professional on fixing + soldering a variety of electronic parts especially TVs.

I already ordered some pogo pins 5.5mm and 6mm, but I really don't know which size is the correct.

Thank you!

Also had the same issue on my first gx axs.

Never store your bike without a battery or battery cover! Especially after washing your bike. 
 

During storage without it some moist goes into the pins and they corrode the tiny springs inside.
