Use a third hand tool to help keep the wires aligned, solder and heat shrink the wires together.
Reroute Power
For a compact circuit we can reroute the power by soldering the JST Extension cable to the on-board battery connection.
Make sure to leave the onboard power to on.
Pop the slide switch through the cavity for a tight fit
Carefully position the battery on top of the circuit.
