Step 7: Add the battery snap. Thread the solder ends of the battery snap into the strain

relief holes from the bottom solder-side of the PCB and out through the top. Insert the

solder ends of the battery snap wires into the topside of their respective solder pads.

Solder on the bottom side of the PCB. Remember the red wire goes in the “+” hole and

the black wire goes in the “-” hole.
