Hi, I made a mistake and ordered an Inkplate 5Gen2 WITHOUT enclosure and battery - so now I have to order those items separately.

The casing seems to be this item: Enclosure for Inkplate 5Gen2, black - Soldered Electronics

But what battery goes with the 5Gen2 - and fits inside the enclosure?

Thank you,
Philippe

Hi @philippesimpson

Battery included with Inkplate 5 is this one. You could also use smaller ones or if you wish to use bigger ones you will need to change the 3D model to fit.

Thanks!

Li-Ion Battery 1200mAh 3.7V is currently sold out. Do you happen to know when it is back in stock?

One more question: Can you charge the battery directly via the Inkplate 5Gen2 board? Or do I need a special, separate charger?

Our supply chain says it will be back in about 2 weeks.

You can change the battery via the Inkplate board.
