If I purchase the "official" LiPo battery that is sold with the pine64, would it be practical to have the battery connected to the pine64 at the same time it is plugged into AC power, all the time? Or would that wear out the battery?
I'm hoping to use it as a server that is always on. So the norm would be that it runs on AC power, but if the power goes out then the battery would keep it alive for some length of time. Would that be practical with this type of setup?
Thanks,

The current configuration is similar to how LiPo battery connected to a tablet. If all time connected to power and battery just for loss power backup, I think the wear out should be minimum. We currently has one developer working on Pine A64 PMIC and hopefully we will have better way to optimize the battery charging to serve server configuration enviroment.
