Add Note Step 19

  • We recommend that you clean the exposed surface of the board with a soft cloth or sponge and a small amount of rubbing alcohol.

  • Melt a small solder bead directly onto the metal connector on the board by placing the soldering iron onto the metal connector and then pressing solder against the tip and the board.

  • Once a small amount of solder has melted onto the board, lift the solder away first and then the soldering iron.

  • The solder bead should look like a small dome or hemisphere. If it is flat or jagged, simply place the soldering iron back on the solder to re-melt it and then pull the soldering iron away. It may require a little more solder if this does not work.

  • Attach the red lead first, followed by the white lead, and finish with the black lead.

  • Place the wire from the new battery onto the new solder bead.

  • Press the tip of the soldering iron onto the solder bead until it melts.

  • Slide the wire lead into the liquid solder until it is in the center of the bead, then remove the soldering iron.

  • Continue with the other two connections the same way, taking special care not to solder two of the connectors together.

Congratulations!

If you accidentally ruin the negative (the black wire) soldering bead like I did. Then the big metal plate is an alternative for a negative connection. Just solder it directly onto this plate and it should work perfectly.
