I want to connect a LiPo battery and a power switch to an EspruinoBoard 1.4. I don't want to use the JST connector. Where should I connect the switched power supply? To the GND and VBat pins of the board? Or to the back of the JST connector?
As I understand the documentation, there is a fuse between the battery connector and the VBat pin. If that is the case, connecting the battery to VBat would circumvent the fuse, right?
Another question: if I solder a MAX1551 to the designated position on the board, I understand that I can charge the battery through the USB connector. Doesn't that mean that the board will always be on during charging? Otherwise the switch would have to be inserted AFTER the charger chip...
