No problem... just remember the other end of the 10k resistor connected to PIN5 goes to GND (so might as well connect to PIN6 also). I'll be curious to know how long your battery does last... my $20 8000ma ebay el-cheapo went from 3/4 of a day to 1/2 after a few daily cycles, so it wasn't that great... but it was ok for the price. I have a brand new 20V ALDI cordless tool battery here that I bought simply to scavenge the batteries, as they use 18650 cells, and it will cost more to get good quality batteries online! So that could become the base of my new power pack for the pine... 5x18650 batteries in separate holders... wired in parallel with protection PCBs... should keep it running for a while!
