Actually, I believe this was the problem. But with the tank rather than the battery. I wasnt able to raise the battery connector but I was able to lower the tank's connector by taking it apart and removing the atty and then inserting a very small screw driver in there and pushing down, the tank connecter came about 1/8 of and inch out and now is making contact with the battery and back working again. Thanks for the reply, vape on.
