Just get a new battery connector that comes with the wires attached (www.maplin.co.uk do them).

Then it is simply a case of soldering the wires on where the olds ones have been removed.

As above do it properly or not at all! The connectors cost about 50p each!

got the shizzle, do i just pull the old one off, and put the new one on top of the old solder, and solder it on to the top of the old one, or do i have to remove the previous solder?

I guess you haven't soldered before. In that case - heat up the 'old' solder and gently remove the old lead from the board (do not leave the soldering iron on there too long - just long enough to remove the old wires).

Now, do the same in reverse to add the new one (it would help greatly if you could add a little solder).

This is not the recommended method - the professional way would be to remove the old solder completely and re-do with fresh.

Do not just pull the old wires off - as this will leave bits of wire sticking out - and cause you real problems with short circuits etc.

If you are not confident doing this - find someone who is. It is all too easy to screw up your board due to over-heating etc.
