Lipo Battery

[Jimbo Automates]

I have one sensor that won't keep a charge for long, so wanted to replace the battery.  There was no option in the wireless tags store to purchase just a battery...

The https://store.wirelesstag.net/products/external-power-sensor-als

Mentions this:

• There are many cheap LiPo battery packs on Amazon that have "+" and "-" wired incorrectly. Here are examples of correct polarity. Please mind the "+" and "-" marked on the casing of this product. Connecting the battery with opposite polarity can cause fire and permanently damage this product.

and their battery is 1000mAh, But there is no 1000mAh battery listed on the adafruit pages

The Batteries I have are: CTECHI PL102050 3.7V 1000mAh 1907

There are a few on Amazon that are similar with the + on the left and - on the right, so are the compatible?

But this cheaper 4 pack doesn't have the +/- marked?

I believe you can use any LiPo battery as long as it is 3.7V (1S) and the connector is the same. Please note that if the polarity is reversed, you can simply take the pins out with a scalpel or knife blade and insert them in the right polarity. Not doing so will kill your sensor.

Thanks, appreciate the response, would be nice if the company could respond and say which have the polarity correct.  I hate to cut the connecter, then have to figure out which way to put it back in each time, but guess that's what I'll do.

You don't need to cut the connector; just lift the latch, slide out each terminal, and then relocate it.
