Post by Robots86 » Wed Jun 01, 2016 10:23 am

I recieved my battery today. The connection is bigger than the one on the powerboost.. Is there another way of connecting it?

Thanks

Yes, with the bare wires, or a connector that has the same size.

solder the wires of your battery to the 2 pins inside the connector on your powerboost, where the connector should go, if it had the right size.
Black is Ground/- and Red is +

You can solder to BATT pin and GND pin on the Powerboost. You dont need to use the JP2 connector. BATT is directly connected to it. That's what I'm doing since I couldnt find the proper JP2 connector plug.
