Hi All,

I'm looking to build my first GBZ and am very new to this.

I bought the Adafruit Powerboost 1000C (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2465#tutorials) and am confused about charging the battery. I see some people soldering on a micro usb port separately. Is it just that it's difficult to reach the powerboost from the outside or is not capable?

The additional micro USB port is used often to extend the connection to a better place (as you already wrote).
The internal micro usb port and the later onsoldered external one are just wired in parallel to each other.
