Lithium 3.7 Volt Battery

[Israeldelamo]

DOES ANYONE HAVE A LINK that INTERNATIONAL (I'm in Australia) users can log into and BUY an ACTUAL battery that WORKS with Pine64 "out of the box"?  With all the wires wired in and the correct connector on the end???

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?

Thanks for quick response mate...  That looks like the EXACT same battery I bought...  I've wired one of them up for my NTC CHIP hosts - and I reckon I can get from 12-20 hours with CHIP on there - with the CHIP is was pretty much "plug and play"...

I've recently ordered some three wire PH3 plugs already wired - one of the things I'm having issues with it attaching connectors onto the batteries - I got the little lugs and strips of female "pins" - but I don't have a sophisticated enough crimping tool...   I will revisit this...

So - when I get my already wired connectors - I'll add a 10 K resistor onto the middle wire and hopefully I'll be sorted...

Would you kindly post a picture of that connection, or at least a diagram? The last time i tried to connect a 3,7v battery I fried my Pine64 (30€ thrown away).
