Default EZ Go Powerwise red wire fix

I replaced the DC charger cord a couple of days ago. In the process, I broke the metal clip of the red wire coming from the control board. Can I solder that back on and reconnect or direct wire the DC cord to the red wire?

I attached a picture showing the wires I am talking about.

Thanks for any help you can offer so I do not have to buy a new charger.

Either way will work.

Replace the push-on connector with a ring terminal and screw it onto the heat sink, or attach it to on of the ammeter terminals.

Thank you! Will this particular wire have any bearing on whether the charger is actually charging the golf cart or not? I am a novice here, so bear with me.

The red wire won't let the control board turn the charger on if it is not attached to the positive terminal of the cart's battery pack, but other than that it doesn't have anything to do with charging the batteries.

The actual battery charging circuit consists of a transformer, a capacitor and two diodes. The "control" board is simply the power switch.
