LiPo battery does not charging #7

Hi phiksun,

some time ago since my last question. No I have all stuff from the project assembled and it works pretty good with an power bank connected to the micro usb. But unfortunately it did not work with the LiPo battery. I have exactly the same battery from Adafruit. I have bought three of them because I thought that the first one was broken. Interestingly, the charging LED works well while attaching Power to the Micro USB Port. But even when I charge it >24 hours and disconnect the power cable it seems that the LiPo did not take over....

Is there something to change in the code? BTW: I have not the newest main.cpp. I saw it just right now that you have improved the code.... I have the version before.

Or is there a mistake in the wiring picture, I have even consulted the adafruit learning page for the feather board (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather-32u4-basic-proto/power-management) and did not find out what is wrong, Perhaps you've got an idea?

I hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

i know Adafruit's batteries already have the JST connector on them but if yours didn't make sure you check the polarity of the battery If you are soldering on a JST cable or using a non-Adafruit battery check the polarity of the wires going into the battery port. A backwards battery can destroy the charger.
