snowpenguin said:Well, lithium batteries are dangerous, and can explode. Lithium polymer cells are actually more dangerous I believe, but with a protection circuit the danger is very low compared to just open cells. The protection circuit protects against shorts causing massive failures, prevents overdischarge, overcharge, all those sorts of things. You ought to be fine with one on there.
So you know, if you accidentally short your cell(s) while they're plugged in, the protection circuit will need to be reset by plugging in the charger once, then there should be no problem.

Sorry for my insanely lame finding-things-skills, and thanks

The P+ and P- on the protection circuit are for both charging and discharging.zeturi said:Hey guys, quick question: How am I supposed to get power from the batteries to my system? Do I just solder from the charge/load section of the pcb to the system, or do I solder the batteries directly to the system?
