I recently installed the battery in my PlayBox and found it wasn't charging. Checked the USB cable I was using with my QooPow qualMeter (www.qoopow.com), results were "Worst". Replaced with a cable that checked out "Best" and the charging current went from 0.18 amps (barely keeping the Pine64 on) to 1.40 amps (charging like a champ).
In general, charging consume additional 300-400mA. I am currently playing around different brand 18650 Lithium Ion batteries with soon release battery casing.
