Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I got that, but idiot me forgot to look at how the old one was connected 
before attacking it with desoldering braid and breaking the old battery 
connector! :-(   what I want to know is, there are two contact points on 
the board to which the battery connector's terminals were soldered.  
Does it matter which is which so long as the + wire doesn't touch the - 
one?  Can't I just solder (carefully) hookup wire to the new battery, re-
solder each wire to one of the contact points and call it a day?  Or is 
one specifically routed to the + signal?
