New bike, and on the second ride I stopped at the top of a climb to take a drink, and when I started to go again, the pedal assist wasn't working. Display worked, but no power output. Conditions ranged from dry to snow/ice/slush/mud in shady spots, so some water/slush/mud got splashed up on the downtube. Nothing major, not like riding through water, just a small amount. Normal by any definition of off road riding. Next day, the bike works again. Dealer said something about the battery contacts getting wet/dirty, and that's been known to cause issues, but I'm unable to pull the battery and have a look because they sold me the bike without a battery key, and haven't been able to get a replacement.
Questions: Have any of you experienced anything similar? What was the cause? How did you resolve it? Do you take any steps to seal the battery contacts from water better?
