Lithium 3.7 Volt Battery

[pfeerick]

With the CHIP is was pretty much "plug and play"...

I've recently ordered some three wire PH3 plugs already wired - one of the things I'm having issues with it attaching connectors onto the batteries - I got the little lugs and strips of female "pins" - but I don't have a sophisticated enough crimping tool...   I will revisit this...

Yeah, with the pine64 it was just a different design choice... boards like the chip, bananapi, etc, just expect the two battery wires... pine64 they also want the temperature of the battery, which to be honest, is the *safer* design, just not not the most accessible!

lol... I actually do have a crimping tool for (actually, make that two... I also have a ratcheting one with 6 different jaws)... and they were really good at crimping the wires on the battery that well, that the JST crimps gillotined the wires... they were way to delicate. I'd recommend replacing the wires with some slightly better wires... some nice 24-22AWG wire should nice nicely... and fine-nosed pliers can be pretty good at crimping... you just fold one tab over at a time.

Good luck
