Hi All. I have a DeWalt DC835 type 2 recip saw. Not too old and lightly used. My problem is the battery doesn’t fit tightly and for the most part won’t stay running unless I wiggle the battery around. Very hard to do and still get the job done. Has anyone had similar problems and how did you fix it. Thanks Matt

Might be something as simple as taking some needle nose pliers and squeezing the battery contact terminals together in the tool.
