sram gx axs derailleur battery pin damaged

[DieselnDust]

just clean the battery interface with electrical circuit board cleaner (iso Propyl alcohol) and apply a smear of silicone grease to the interface and fit the red cover to the component side of the battery interface. The springs won't last forever but this will keep corrosion at bay and provide some barrier protection in fine grit ingress.

This pin issue is a common problem, I’ve found if you take a little a piece of material and put it on the battery locking hatch, it draws the battery much closer onto the pin when you lock it into position without needing to do electrical dentistry. Also the smallest micro drop of fine oil on a sewing needle eases up the pin. So far this has saved me and my wallet from further financial injury!

I spray MO94 directly on the pins and push them down a few time to make sure they get lubricated/remove any moisture to prevent rust. 3500km on and still fine for now…

I think that stuff is just silicone based garage door cable lube. Maybe not even that sophisticated. Just don't get any of it on the brake rotor. It does not come off easily

I spray the MuckOff Electric spray in there every time I wash he bike .. so far so good ... not sure if its the right things to do? If anyone can advise?

Just ensure it’s dried properly, and checked after each wash. Sram electro boards have yet to pass any aquatic tests.🤛🏻✅🤓
