Advice for finding a suitable battery (High voltage LiPo with BMS, ~500mah)
Hi guys, I'm looking to find a battery for a small bluetooth phone keyboard I have, where my goal is to replace the original for a smaller one to fit in a tighter space to make the keyboard smaller. (original is 2300mah, looking at say ~500mah)
This would be pretty straightforward normally, however the keyboard uses a high voltage LiPo (3.87v nominal, 4.4v charged).
I was just wondering what options I have? I was thinking about using a regular 1s LiHV lipo usually used in small drones, but the original battery has three pins, one being a thermistor/temperature sensor, so I'm guessing the original battery has a BMS while one of these drone batteries would not. I am aiming to just hook up the battery to the original terminals, and use the existing charging circuitry the keyboard has. I suppose I could solder the original battery's BMS to the two terminals of the 1s lipo instead?
Any advice or input would be appreciated, thanks
