What battery? OEM or aftermarket?

My OEM small LiIon clicks in just fine. The OEM Hi Cap LiION and NiMH batteries are stiff but seat with a firm slap at the bottom. Dont have the part numbers right here for my batteries available so you have to go with my vague description, sorry.

Sometimes that rubber gasket around the batter contact stem gets a bit dry and makes it tough to seat the battery all the way up. I found that the older "blue" gaskets are better than the newer black ones.
