Red,
The connector looks fine. As the pack was still new it had been sitting on a shelf in my den for about a year. I thought perhaps it just discharged whatever charge was in it causing irreperable damage. I shipped it back to the manufacturer yesterday for a look see. I'll post when I have an answer.
BTW, sorry we couldn't get together and fly as we had planned while we were in Gainesville for the Gatornationals. It rained all of Wednesday and Thursday as it was, we qualified #4 in our bracket, but went out in round #3. I promise we'll get together this year in Newberry for that BBQ I owe ya!!.
