Note, the lipo battery uses 3 pins, not the normal 2 that I see for other 1 cell lipo batteries. I don't know if this means they are using a pair of lipos for 5.4v to 8.4v, or there some other reason not to use the 2 pin JST connector. In addition, charging lipos require specialing handling, and it is possible pine64 is using a lipo battery with a somewhat different chemistry. Before trying to source your own batteries, it would be helpful if pine64 could detail exactly what battery is supported.
