Description
This insert is specifically for the WaveShare Solar Power Manager (14500 battery) and the XIAO nRF52840 & Wio-SX1252 Kit to be used with the 150mm x 100mm x 70mm junction box. To my surprise the 14500 battery does very well in combination with the nRF52840 chip, has maintained above 70% charge overnight. I used the USB A output from the WaveShare to USB C input on the XIAO, so there was no need to solder the battery connector.
Equipment Used
