Running Debian, and when the blue battery (with 3 wires) is plugged in to the Pine board, Debian recognizes it's there. It calls it a laptop battery and even tells you the % charge the battery has.
That being said, I can't get the Pine to run with just the battery.
I have not soldered a power or reset switch to the board. (yet)
Try connecting the battery, and connecting either pins 5 (PWR/SB switch) and 9 (GND) on the EXP header together for a moment (or the two contracts nearest the edge of the board where the power switch is). The pine64 should start up and run fine then. If it doesn't, then I can't help you, as that is what my board does! :-O
Disclaimer: This is without the genuine battery, and the 10k (it was 10 wasn't it?) resistor trick on the middle pin to allow the pine to boot as I don't have a thermistor on my battery pack.
