Li-Po batteries, Pins and board LEDs
Battery capacity
Li-Po batteries are charged up to 4,2V with a current that is usually half of the nominal capacity (C/2). For
Arduino / Genuino MKR1000 we use a specialized chip that has a preset charging current of 350mAh. This
means that the MINIMUM capacity of the Li-Po battery should be 700 mAh. Smaller cells will be damaged
by this current and may overheat, develop internal gasses and explode, setting on fire the surroundings.
We strongly recommend that you select a Li-Po battery of at least 700mAh capacity. A bigger cell will take
more time to charge, but won't be harmed or overheated. The chip is programmed with 4 hours of charging
time, then it goes into automatic sleep mode. This will limit the amount of charge to max 1400 mAh per
charging round.
Battery connector
If you want to connect a battery to your MKR1000 be sure to search one with female 2 pin JST PHR2 Type
connector.Polarity : looking at the board connector pins, polarity is Left = Positive, Right = GNDDownload
here the Connector datasheet. On the MKR1000, connector is a Male 2pin JST PH Type.VinThis pin can
be used to power the board with a regulated 5V source. If the power is fed through this pin, the USB power
