That was replaced with wires soldered directly to the
pcb inside the battery pack. Problem solved.

Same end result but I used a DB15 connector for one pack
(laptop battery). Ribbon cable for the data pins and
standed wire for the pos/neg leads.

That works too, I did that earlier, but if you open the
battery pack you can solder right onto the pcb. Those
contacts are attached to the pcb.
