I still can't believe I'm fighting this losing battle with Pine!
I don't have a link that will work out of the box, but I can report that I did buy this battery via eBay, and it powers my Pine64+ 1GB for between 8 & 12 hours without any problems, and the pine64 does charge it. On close inspection of the protection circuit at the top of the batter, it appeared that even though it did have two wires, it might actually support the temperature sensor. I attached a wire to the pad, and wired the battery up to a three lead JST connector. The pine64 didn't like that, so I then spliced the wires to add the 10K resistor between GND and the middle pin, and it has worked ever since. It clearly isn't anywhere near it's rated capacity, as the pine64 consuming around 400mah should have run for closer to 20 hours, but that was no surprise with Chinese ratings of batteries!
Is that of any interest to you?
