The connection from my battery to my controller is 1-2 inches short. When I turn fully to the right, half the time the connection pops out. I have tried several configurations and the way I have it now is the most slack I can get out of it. Is the solution ... a segment of wire with the connections that I can insert, like one does if they want to join two pieces of PVC pipe ... or get a slightly longer battery power cable? The battery only fits on my down tube in pretty much only one position. If I shrink wrap it, won't that mean it will put tension on the controller?

If you need the components in that position you want to splice in a longer length of wire. The gauge doesn't matter much on a low power kit but if you google for wire gauge charts they'll give a good idea of what that is. Likely it is between 12 and 16awg.
See this link for different guages of wire and solder sleeves https://lunacycle.com/batteries/connectors-and-wires/
Just match the wire size and make them connected using the solder sleeve and a lighter. Instructions on how to do this are in the connection section of the hardcase battery documentation
