Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Okay, well... I picked up a CR2032 (the one I desoldered was BR2032, 
same diff) however, in desoldering, I broke the battery connector.  
It was soldered directly to the battery (God smiled on me in not 
having the lithium leak all over me in the process of 
desoldering...), and I couldn't keep the connector in tact.  in lieu 
of wasting money on a new battery connector (can't find one anywhere 
but route 66, and I don't NEED a new battery...) can I just solder 
project wire to the battery (one to +, one to -) and solder those 
leads to the now-empty terminals on the board?  Is one specifically 
meant for each?  From above, keys facing me, it looks a little like 
this...

   *  (           )  *      

where * are the terminals on the board, and ( ) is the spot where 
the battery holder was.  you seem to know what you're talking about, 
and I don't want to fry this sweet new toy of mine, so any help you 
can offer (pics, great) would be much appreciated.
