6V power supply via USB port

Hi,

Is it possible to power Audiomoths with 6V lead batteries via USB port, or would it damage them (almost 7V when fully charged)? I've been looking for a way to power them with a rechargeable high capacity power source. The idea is to avoid soldering cables onto the board/removing the battery-holders, to keep things simple for future users. I've also tested connecting lead batteries via AA battery sized dummies (wood + nails + cables), but this results in noise between 65 and 75 kHz.

All the best

Luisa

Great. It's also possible that the noise was external. Laptop power supplies can be very noisy and generate a lot of ultrasonics.
