A tidy arrangement, but I would have one less set of connectors in series
with the battery, possibly more:  either I would solder the wires direct to
the KX1 pcb, or, not to spoil the KX1, I would eliminate the power poles.
The fuse and holder will drop quite a lot of precious mV as well, so I would
be tempted to solder directly to the fuse or use fuse wire without the
holder soldered direct to the battery box terminal, then a joint to the
supply wire.
