Trying to use a MicroLipo + a Qi wireless receiver as a power supply for a sealed project. I soldered the Qi wireless receiver to the MiroLipo board and the unit functions as intended. When the Qi wireless receiver is placed over the Qi charger, the Lipo battery attached to the Microlipo begins to charge.
I plan to install the MiroLipo and the Qi receiver in the project and use a magnetic reed switch to turn the unit on and off.
Question
Question: Is it possible to connect power for my project to the MicroLipo using the micro USB on the board or through the solder pads marked BAT and GND? (Using a multimeter, I can see power is available on both)
(The project will function on 3-5Vdc)
Thank you for your time.

Re: MicroLipo + a Qi wireless receiver as a Power Supply
Use the pins labeled BAT and GND.
The USB jack is connected to the input side of the LiPo charger, and is equivalent to using the 5V and GND pins.
