damaged battery connection?

Hi Kip,

I highly doubt that the battery itself is at fault here. Check out the battery guide for the droid 4 here on ifixit: Motorola Droid 4 Battery Replacement

As you can see, the battery is pretty secure on these devices, and the connection is even secured with two screws. What are some of the issues you are experiencing? If the device is not powering on, you most likely need a new LCD if the fall was hard enough to shatter the screen and make you think the battery got disconnected. As always, more information would be helpful.
