 ==== Disassembly ====
 Begin by disassembling the charging base.  The bottom metal plate is held on with six Phillips-head screws and one 3/32 hex-head screw.  Remove these screws and the metal plate.
+Once the metal plate is removed, you'll see the circuit board.  Toward the front end (left side in this picture) is a retainer for the LEDs; you can remove it with a pair of tweezers or needle-nose pliers (or your fingers if they're small enough).  The board is held in place by two 3/32 hex-head screws near each end; remove these as well.  Then gently push the strain relief out of the back end, and you can remove the entire board.
+The two screws that held in the circuit board, also fastened it to the charging contacts, so they'll probably fall away as you remove the board.  Don't lose them.
+==== Re-assembly ====
+Cut two pieces of your primary wire about 6" (150 mm) long, strip the ends, and crimp on small ring terminals to one end of each.
