Default Extending Battery Leads

As I have indicated in a post a week or so ago, I have an Apprentice S 15e. I am new to LiPo batteries but learning fast. My question here is this. The battery that I have for it is a 3S 11.1V 3200mAh. When I put it in the bay on the bottom of the plane and run the leads up through a hole to connect with the connector at top end, there is very little of the leads from the battery exposed to work with. It can be done but tight. Is it possible to add an extension lead to the battery leads and extend them say another 4 or 5 inches without any reduction in power or other problems? Do they even sell something like that? Thank you in advanced for any help in this regard.
