Giant E2 full sus

[Big Malky]

Really enjoying this bike.
However broke the main on/off switch on the bars. Opened it up thinking that I could repair it. It is a tiny surface mount component which I was unable to solder back on.
Just put some solder across the terminals so taking the battery on and off is now the switch [emoji3]
Anyone foresee any problems with this?

Isn't there an 'on/off' button or switch on the battery itself?

If there's no switch on the battery, each time you connect it, it'll erode the connections until it'll have connection problems.

Buy a replacement switch?

Yeah noticed arcing on the battery terminals last week. So after a couple of hours of finicky soldering this morning have got it working again.
However still not convinced that it is robust enough for off-road use.
