It would be >NICE< if Pine could provide some part numbers for people OUTSIDE the USA to buy compatible batteries...
And I can't find any diagrams of which pins do what on the LiPO connector... I'm assuming that the middle pin does nothing - or is GND ?
In general, any 3.7v Lipo battery will work. The first pin is positive, the third pin is ground, the info posted at Pine64 wiki page on the main board connector information. The middle pin is temp sensor for those battery that has temp sensor.
tllim - there are several things you promised in this thread which you are yet to deliver...
Also "In general, any 3.7v Lipo battery will work." is patently incorrect.
I've tried several different / assorted batteries on my Pine64+ 2GB boards - NONE of them will power Pine, neither in Linux or Android.
I've tried Sparkfun brand 2600 mAh batteries... I've tried 8000 mAh batteries (almost identical to the ones that Pine WERE selling - except on two power connectors - I wired in a 10K resistor as recommended on this forum) .. I've tried 3 pole cell-phone batteries connect to all three pins on Pine - as mentioned in a previous post in another thread - the best I've ever gotten is that sometimes there's enough battery juice there to stop Pine powering off if I close the lid on my Motorola Lapdock! (closing the lid "temporarily" stops power going through the OTG port - during closing - once closed - it resumes supplying power)...
If I try to power up Pine with ANY of the above assorted batteries - it will power up and the LED will flash for about 30-90 seconds (I didn't have stopwatch on me) then shut off again!
DOES ANYONE HAVE A LINK that INTERNATIONAL (I'm in Australia) users can log into and BUY an ACTUAL battery that WORKS with Pine64 "out of the box"? With all the wires wired in and the correct connector on the end???
I still can't believe I'm fighting this losing battle with Pine!
NTC CHIP just does all this SH*T out of the box.
My Banana PI? I did have to solder connectors onto the board so I could run a battery into it - but once acheived - it just WORKED!
