+## Removing the Protection Board ##
+
+At this point, the wire connections and circuit board are exposed. 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:

+
+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. This will make insulating the terminals
+easier:
