Issue dossier

The sources name a 3.7 V / 1,200 mAh LiPo and a board-side LiPo connection/charging circuit. The historical guide cautions against heating or shorting battery wires and says charging requires the switch on. They do not publish the exact current cell/charger/protection configuration, thermal/current test data, replacement procedure, fault behavior, shipping classification, certification, or a final 2026 safety guide.

A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
