Something like this should get you going again. There are many variations at amazon, ebay, aliexpress etc.

For me the phone did the job of charging from 'dead' when I used the old charger from a Nexus 5X.

That would do it alright. Thank you for the advice. I will get one straight away. I had been wondering if such a thing existed but did not find anything until you showed me. 

I see that batteries is the only spare part that Pine64 does not provide worldwide because of shipping restrictions. I wonder if a universal battery charger with a battery inside could circumvent these restrictions. So far Pine64 has amazed me with their hardware, so I would not rule it out.
