Recommended LI-ion battery?
What battery do you recommend, ladyada? I'm not sure what I should get... a one cell, or brand ?

Why would you need a charger? Minty has battery recharge via USB. Not sure I understand. Personally, I use an old BL-4C battery from Nokia. 850 mAH, at only 4.5 mm thick! I removed the CF ejector and crazy-glued it on top of the CF jack (NOTE: before doing this, make sure your minty works! Trying to reflow the STA013 is a BANNED if there's a battery covering it up . This leaves room next to the board for my Music Appreciation BANNED Supplement...

which Lion battery...
Hey Ladyada, just curious about the recommended battery...
You mention "any 3.7V Lion battery"
However the Max1811 is for 4.1V or 4.2V batteries depending on SELV. (In the Minty it's grounded so the Minty should use a 4.1V battery.)
And just to summarize -
JP3 is for regular AA batteries
JP1 is for 4.1V (or 3.7V?) Lion (hence the LDO)
cheers - kuenrg
