I used a SSMMAALL tipped soldering iron to solder leads to the circuit board. This is the part where you must be careful. Make sure the iron is hot. You don't want to keep it in contact with the board for very long. Also tin the leads before-hand. Connecting the leads t o the battery pack is not quite as critical,but you still must be careful.
