Default It's actually fairly simple
You see how the wires are connected on the old set up and mark the positive wire area with a + if you can so you don't get them mixed up.

Now there's a little "TECHNIQUE" to it and I'll try to explain as I go.

Using a small tip soldering iron... heat the back side of the connection just enough to melt the existing solder and remove that leg of the battery cable connection.

Only momentarily heating the point so you don't over heat and destroy the battery or any other components.

Ideally you should use a heat sink clip to attenuate the heat away from the component (battery).

Then you repeat the same maneuver with the other leg of the battery connection to remove the battery from the board.

If it's not feasible to do it from the back side of the IC board, use the small tip on the end of the wire connection on the battery side and be sure to only heat it long enough to loosen and pull the wire free. Repeat as necessary to release the other side of the battery.

Then clean the holes with the soldering iron by heating it quickly to move the solder enough to melt it momentarily to OPEN the holes to allow the new wire tips to be inserted only far enough to make the "electronic" connection. (Not sticking through and out the other side to possibly shirt out on some other part of the circuits.)

Make sure you use the heat sink clips to protect the new battery and "silver" the tips of the wires to connect to the board. This means momentarily heating the tips of the wire to allow a small amount of solder to melt onto the wire tips. Then stick them into the appropriate holes and solder them in place by quickly {momentarily} heating the solder to melt to adhere the wire to the hole with the solder. Be very careful not to over heat and damage the battery by keeping the hot tip to the solder point too long. it's not a race but you don't want to waste time heating the solder points. (You can destroy the new battery by over heating it while installing it and then you'll have to buy another one and go through this process again.)

Before you solder it in place, make sure to trim and remove the insulation from only the tips of the wire before you silver them and solder it in place. This prevents excess wire lengths and possible short circuits.

Once it's soldered in place you can reassemble the Axim (device) and the installation is complete. Clean up your mess, put the tools away and throw the old garbage away.

That simple. Hope this was clear enough to understand. Ha ha ha
