Please note the warnings in that thread - DO NOT DUAL POWER!

Ummm - why not? What will happen?

What I think is meant in the article is that you should not put the LIPO and the wall wart in parallel to power the Arduino.

I've never tried it and I am no EE but I assume things might get a bit warmer than intended.
