Nicla Sense ME battery connection: faulty documentation

Official Hardware Nicla Family Nicla Sense ME

I just fried my Nicla Sense ME board due to a faulty documentation of the battery connectors.

In the datasheet 3v / red is connected to the right pin and GND / black to the left pin. This setup fried my board.

On the support pages the connection image shows the mirrored connection: 3v / red right and GND / black left. This probably works.

Dear Arduino Team: Please update the documentation.

Here is some sources for the battery connectors and cables. They are not easy to find:

Hi Andrea, i already opened a support ticket and got a reply regarding a replacement board. The main thing is that the documentation will now be corrected so no one else will fry their boards.
