Compatible Battery Types/Brands List

Many thanks, TL. This will help people source appropriate batteries.

Hi 
I've seen CANADA AMAZON, a battery that maybe you like ..

1200mAh 3.7V Li-Poly Battery with JST-PH cable

or keep looking ..

Note, that battery in addition to being only 1200mA has a 2 pin plug that will not fit into the pine64's plug that expects a 3 pin connection (the third pin providing temp. or charge level information).

These perhaps?

The battery only has 2 wires, while the plug on the pine64 has 3 wires. The plug you mention (JST-PH with 3 connectors) looks like it might fit. I don't know if the pine64 uses the 3rd (temp?) for anything, such as to regulate the battery to avoid overcharging it.

Here is two with thermistor wire, but they are a bit weak. (only 3000-3600 mAh)

I haven't check this thread in a while.  So anybody here so far has found the actual battery with the right connector from eBay, Amzon or anywhere online?

Here are some more potential batteries with the 3rd cable... I don't know if any of these are compatible, perhaps someone from pine64 can pitch in here and guide us non-US pledgers. Would be nice since you can't ship us your batteries.

Seems like all listed links can be use for Pine A64. Just make sure that plug in the polarity in correct way, I don't want pictures of battery blow up posted here.

What's the minimum mAH requirement?

What's the minimum mAH requirement?

Depend how long the standby time, the Pine A64 consumes around 675mA @3.7V in normal operation, this means an 800mAH battery last about one hour.

OK thanks  In that Ali list above which one would you recommend?   I have to buy a battery by the end of this week!!!
