I tried changing my battery but broke the battery connector pins by using the plastic battery blocker. Re soldered in a new connector, but now I think I mangled the smart connector plug badly trying to get to click in. Can I just leave it disconnected and cover the port on the battery with capton tape? I don’t use that feature anyway.
Is this a good question?

I would recommend connecting it so the iPad doesn’t show an error, being as it may need it to function normally.

Hello, Did you ever figure this out? I was told by a tech that it didn't need to be connected but I don't like that idea and have ordered a new flex connector. What's unclear is how you remove the clip holding the contacts in place.

The smart connector plugin is toast. It no longer will click in to the battery. Think I will clean the glue off the front cover and just place it over the IPAD temporarily to see it there are any errors present. Thanks anyway. If not then perhaps a another new battery, and a new smart connector might have to be ordered. Didn't remember seeing the 90 degree bend at the plugin connector where it attaches to the battery lower section. Now I do!
