Easiest way to get 5v out of Maple?

I just got myself a maple board for a project. Coming from Arduino it took me a moment to realize that the outputs/vcc max out at 3.3 volts. I need 5v, and after playing around a bit I found i could get it by sticking a wire in the BAT vertical thing. Is this the recommended way to do it?

If you're using VIN higher than 6V, you could use a LM7805 (or switching mode equivalent) to give you a 5V rail, most of the times if you need 5V and you're using USB, just use Vin directly as the jumpers will be configured for that.
