Warning for #meshtastic users buying batteries: the connectors aren't standardized. The 5000mAh batteries I bought have a larger connector than will fit on the #Heltec #v3 or the #LilyGo #Tdeck. You have been warned.

If you're new and don't want to be like me, get a pre-made unit from someone who already learned this lesson (and either buys matching gear, or solders on the needed power connector for you).

Jonard ST-500 is the best wire stripper for those really tiny wires.

Those tiny connectors are JST and they are crimp connectors. Kits with lots of pins and bodies with a crimper to cover the most common variants are available under $50 on amazon.

I'm a tool junkie who made this same mistake before,
