Customer:
I have an Inkplate 6 COLOR with the included case. The bundle came with a 1200mAh battery. Are there larger batteries available that would also fit in the case?

Soldered Support:
The enclosure has a slot designed specifically for the 1200mAh battery. You could technically modify and re-print the enclosure to hold a larger battery with the same thickness.
The STL files for the enclosure are available here: Soldered-Inkplate-6-COLOR-hardware-design/OUTPUTS/V1.2.1/3D printable files at main · SolderedElectronics/Soldered-Inkplate-6-COLOR-hardware-design · GitHub
A larger battery might be possible in width and height (but not thickness), though the 1200mAh was the largest that fit in the pre-made design. If you want to use a larger battery, you could modify the enclosure by making it thicker or adding an add-on to accommodate it.
You can check the battery product pages for size specifications if you’re considering sourcing a battery from us.
