Right, the battery slides down into the sleeve. At the bottom is a raised flat positive terminal.
The cap that screws down has the negative terminal protruding.
On fitting a re-charged battery, common sense tells me that the more the cap is tightened the better
the connection. Not so with my Pico. I screw the cap all the way until it is tight yet at no point does the display light up. I then start unscrewing it and at some point seem to hit a sweet spot then the display lights up. Later it may go out then by screwing the cap backwards and forwards I eventually reach that "sweet" spot again and the display lights up again. Absolute no logic in this.
I would love to have someone offer an acceptable explanation.
