Anyway, it looks like an 18650 battery is 3.7v; will one of those work? I have several rechargable ones laying around (for flashlights). And that converter you linked me to on Amazon should work hey? Nice and cheap too!
My car has only a single cigarette lighter. I wonder if it would be possible to buy one of those cigarette lighter -> USB plugs that goes into the cig lighter and gives you two USB ports. Then power the Pine64 and LCD touchscreen (I'm guessing the official 7" one from the P64 store) from that?
I'm interested to know if a 18650 will work as a battery for the Pine too! Anyone?
BTW, what do you call those connectors for the wires and where can I get them?
