I wondered how they soldered the leads to the battery... they didn't.
Now I wonder how they spot-welded the leads to the battery?

Anyway, you have to splice the leads, either solder or some sort of mechanical crimp connector. Attaching two plugs and two sockets to the wires is unnecessarily complicated. I'd use an uninsulated, tinned, crimp sleeve that has a hole in the center to solder the connection once it's firmly held in place. Also a low temperature solder if the location doesn't get too hot.
