it is possible to replace the 18650 battery with lipo battery?

lemmingDev commented 5 years ago

Will be fine if it's 3.7V

I removed the battery holder & soldered a 1S 1000mAH battery to the pads. The original battery was too chunky for my application & the new one is much smaller. It works just fine.

Anda how did you do It? I'm just starting with this... And I was just wondering if you would have a dummies guide for a new battery installation.

Would you share a link to buy the 1000mAh batteries?

What are the batterie's specifications needed to change them? (Voltage, etc)

Thanks!!

Do you have a soldering iron? Use it to remove the original battery holder. In fact, you could just leave it in place if it isn't in the way. Buy a replacement battery - I can't remember where mine came from, probably Amazon. Any 3.7V LiPo cell will do. Cut the connector off the battery (if it has a connector). Solder the Red battery wire to the same end as the + terminal on the old battery holder Solder the Black wire to - It's no more complicated than that.

Yes, I do.

Ok thanks, I'm gonna try It.

I will look for the batteries on Amazon for sure.

What about replace the GPS antenna? Is it worth it? How do you do it?
