I'm still mad at RAK wireless for using JST ZHR-2 (1.5mm) and PH (2.0mm) connectors on the same board. It's like, "yo, just pick a standard and stick with it." (Preferrably PH 😉)

But what's even worse is that they don't even document that the battery collector is a JST PH connector in their datasheet!

These are the little details that make the difference between a good product and a great product.

Ugh how could the not put that in the data sheet!

I remember that battle. Of course they've already got your money when you realize.

It’s pretty common to have all kinds of undocumented “fun” in cheaper, half-assed production & manufacturing.

Don’t know anything about RAK, but this smells like cheap Chinese outsourcing. Just my experience - could just be an oversight.

You get to a point where you half ignore the data sheets and inspect yourself. Can trust anything from the cheaper producers… they’ll document one thing, deliver another to you, then claim “oh, it’s a slightly different production version. No documentation yet.”
