My 10,500 mile 2 year old pro connect battery is a bit loose on the bike. You can move it about 4mm. Is there a adjustment you can do or do I need a new lock?

Here's the lionk to the details on how to deal with this and associated issues on my Panasonic Support site, which includes the excellent advice from pedelecs members JamesC and Aldby:

My battery's problem is lateral movement, quite a lot of it. It rattles! The battery lock should be on a cam system to take up wear, rather as camera tripods use.

As a straight lock as Kalkhoff use is not up to the hammering that their bikes get on English roads. The problem with the method suggested here is that it involves pulling off and re-fitting rather brittle bits of seemingly cheap plastic covering - like car trim they seem tailored to factory fitting and cosmetic needs rather than maintenance.

My method is not pretty but it does work reliably and will do so no matter how much wear on the lock interface.
