I don't have an external battery charger and if I connect a wall charger to the phone, the battery charges for a few seconds then tries to boot and dies after a few seconds tries to boot again, diess, over and over.
I did an amazon search on the replacement models in the wiki and the one I bought turned out to be about 6mm short in bothe diemension. Is there a specific battery that I can buy on amazon that will work in a PinePhone?
Is there a way to keep the PinePhone from trying to boot before the battery is charged enough to boot and run with a charger connected by USB?
the emergency tourist solution is to sacrifice a USB cable and strip the red and black, realistically use the voltmeter to be sure of polarity, the 3.7v li-ion will safely take 5v, give it maybe five minutes and be sure about polarity. that will be enough to get you to normal charging.
