There are +two options at this point. One is to leave the circuit board installed, but +move the wires to the circuit board pads that connect to the battery, which +effectively takes the board out of circuit. In some cases, this may be easier +than removing the board entirely... but leaving the board behind doesn't +really help anything, so we'll take the other option which is to remove it +entirely. To do this, just warm up a soldering iron and use tweezers or small +needle-nose pliers to pull the wires and tabs away from the board while using +the soldering iron to melt the solder on each of the 4 joints. Once the +board is removed, the battery should look something like this: <img src="cimg2917.jpg"/> -<img src="cimg2918.jpg"/> -<img src="cimg2919.jpg"/> <img src="cimg2920.jpg"/> + +Now, use the soldering iron to tack the wires onto the battery +terminal tabs. Since the tabs and the wires are all pre-soldered, you don't +really need flux here, though if the tabs look dry adding a little solder +to them before trying to tack the wires on may be helpful. Note that on the +larger cell, we've soldered the wires on heading towards the center so that +we can bend them out together.
