... the case is clearly designed for serial installation and modified for parallel installation. The black wire is not soldered where it can be effective (should be at the center), and the switch is more than likely soldered wrong too.
The good news is that the case can easily be corrected to function normally. The bottom line is that the red lead must be positive, and the black lead negative... and with both cells installed the voltage must not be greater than 3v.
What a fit.
Thank you for graciously posting the pics; my sincere apologies for thinking you were pranking... this is just unbelievable.
What makes me really shudder in this context: If the Pine guys are selling battery holders for their board with such 'quality', what can we really expect from the quality of the board itself?
...something to think about...
