Dear OAD community
I would like to attach LiPo batteries (like here https://www.openacousticdevices.info/support/enclosures/audiomoth-ap9-based-ip65-enclosure-w-lipo) but remove the battery holder to win space. Is it in general possible? Before starting I just wanted to ask what the safest/easiest way is to do it.
Thanks so much!
Anton
I cut through the hot-melt glue with a scalpel - but be sure to cut between the glue and the battery holder to avoid the possibility of damage to the circuit board.
When soldering/desoldering the battery holder terminals take great care not to bridge between the terminal pads and the adjacent via holes (they are very close). I inadvertently did this on one of my original AudioMoths (-ve terminal) since when it will not accept power from the USB. (Fortunately this does not affect operation on battery power).
