Hi. I have the same problem here. Please keep me up to date if and how the li ion battery worked. Thank you
You may find that a 250mAh battery will not hold a sufficient charge over a sufficient length of time to do the job effectively. It may just about be enough to turn the Pine on, I don't know. I hope it is. But you definitely won't be able to run the Pine off a 250mAh battery. It would last about 5 minutes, if that; if at all.
To give some perspective, the battery being touted by Pine Inc. is 8000mAh.
Let us know how things turn out. If you can utilise a small capacity li-ion battery to initiate the Pine, that may be a useful addition to have.
Also, you seem to have figured it out already, but the RTC battery wouldn't have done the job. The purpose of that battery is for maintaining time and date information once the unit is powered down.
