Hello all,
Has anyone reused their pinebook battery for other than powering a pinebook? Mine is in pieces right now, so I'm looking to reuse the parts I can.
Is the connector that the pinebook battery uses easy to acquire on Amazon or other sites online? Would I have to de-solder the connector from the main board? I tried to plugin a male end of GPIO jumper cable into one female outputs, but the pin is too thick.
The battery meters at around 4 ish volts, so I will need to boost it to 5 volts to run a raspberry pi.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Power Distribution Tech and AV by trade, but I have been using Linux since around 2002. I like the raspberry pi and pinebook pro, SBCs and the possibilities they open.
