I was unable to find that. If connecting 5v to the battery pad is enough, it's probably easy (by picking it from the USB charger directly).
But I fear burning something (fully charged battery is still less than 5V IIRC), and I fear the reaction of the charging parts: we can hope thay by providing 5V the phone will never try to charge the "battery", but what if it tries? As said previously adding a diode could protect this, but am I forgetting something else that could go wrong?
Did someone ever tried?
5v+ in is within the engineering spec of all changing hardware I have ever seen over the last 30 years.
