Cover solder joint with the heat shrink provided. If you are using the modern EMG pickups, you will cut your red battery buss wire on one end and solder that to the red wire coming from the battery connector. Cover solder joint wth the heat shrink provided. (see photo section) 9 volt vs 18 volt info: Headroom (+9 or +18 Volts): Headroom is defined as the ability of the pickup to deliver a clean, undistorted waveform. But...while current is being drained from the battery, the battery voltage is decreasing, and so is the headroom. EMG Pickups never put out more voltage than is being supplied. Using a 9 Volt battery will limit the output signal of the pickup to slightly less than 9 Volts. Older EMG Pickups may have a maximum output of 4.5 Volts, one half of the supply. If you supply the pickups with 18 Volts the headroom will double, creating even more headroom for the signal. Doubling the supply voltage to 18 Volts will increase the amount of current drain. You don’t get something for nothing. (courteous of EMG pickups) Looking for the standard 9 volt version?
