I agree, it might add too much resistance, and either over heat, or the battery or phone will plain refuse to work due to low voltage

(It's the one which cares about battery security - like shutting down when over charging, voltage under safety point - and talks to the phone over I2C to give battery health information (all the data you can see in CSD)

It might not be *directly* in contact with the battery, but still, they are dangerously close to the lithium.
One wrong movement with the soldering iron or on badly landing drop of solder and you're in for a tiny firework.

The best would be to ask a friend with lots of experience and a steady hand.
