I believe I broke the battery connector in the process of replacing the battery in my launch switch. I was able to move the plastic back into place after i took this picture. The new battery will not stay connected. I am able to power on the switch if I hold the cable in place, so I know everything works. Any advice on securing the cable?

Hi the correct answer is replace the connector.
Or
you could use tape glue search up: liquid electrical tape. Synid E-208.

Thanks!
What would be the difficulty of replacing the connector? It's been a long time since I've soldered anything and I've never soldered anything that small. I couldn't even figure out what was going on until I took a picture with my phone and blew it up.
Obviously it’s made of plastic and it’s small. Usually it would be put on with a hot air station and leaded solder or solder paste. An iron will melt it. Without great care. I often use tape glue as it’s safe on electrical connectors waterproof and can be removed with Isopropyl alcohol , doesn’t damage the logic board or components but sets hard.
Side note I’m not affiliated with it 🤣 I just know it would work.
Thanks so much! I'm going to try to repair the connector with liquid electrical tape. If that doesn't work I might try to send it to someone to repair. I think replacing the connector would be too difficult for me.
Glad I could help. If you need any tips using it let me know when it arrives.
