Attaching battery to QT PY

Post by ctmorrison »

Is there a recommend way to attach a battery to the bottom of the QT PY? Is there a jack that can be soldered on or simply solder wires, preferably with a male JST plug to which a battery can be attached? I ordered a Product ID 1769, but it appears the polarity is wrong and it physically isn't quite right.

There's no way to tell what the voltage is for the battery while it's being charged? If I poll pin A2, I get the incoming voltage straight from USB when connected.
