does anybody know where to buy LiPo Accu with the matching JST Connector ?
and if i have to solder to VIN / GND will the Lipo be charged when i connect via USB ?
THX in advance

Good question:
I thought also to buy a battery for Portenta H7:
What I see:
- most of 3.6V LiPo are 2-pin - but Portenta H7 has 3-pin
- OK, obvious: the middle one is temperature sensor - even not used
- but you had to go with right 3-pin connector (even middle one not used, just to make it fit)
Other question:
is the PMIC enabled to charge battery?
All code I have seen: it looks like the PMIC is enabled for generating the MCU core voltages?
But not sure if: a) draining current from battery is enabled and b) even is charging battery is enabled?
Regarding charging:
The PMIC might need some special configuration (e.g. charging current, threshold values for charging). Not sure if this is covered by the (minimal) config of PMIC (I would not assume so).
So, using the battery and let it be charged by the PMIC might need some special config of PMIC
(and tracing the charging process, e.g. to disable charger when full).
So, even I could find a potentially fitting battery:
LiPo battery 3-pin
or:
LiPo 3-pin
I am not sure if charging is enabled (and even to take power from battery).
Just based on code (for PMIC config I have seen) - I would assume - NOT.
i ordered the Lipo battery 3-pin but is has the wrong connector ;-(
