Matt,

I would cut the black wire off at the same point, then order 2 of the
crimp pins and if you cannot get the old pins out of the housing, order
a new housing too.

See the KX1 manual for assembly of the housing.

It makes no sense to me to replace the entire battery pack, you would
just have to assemble it even with all new parts.
