### A small li-po battery

Tulip is a low power device and can run on battery for portable computing. There's a standard JST connector on back for flat li-po or 18650 battery packs. I personally use [this 1200mAh battery](https://www.adafruit.com/product/258). If you want to keep it "inside" Tulip (between the back case and the PCB), you'll want to find a battery that is 5mm or so thin. You can use a piece of double sided tape it keep it inside the battery area of the PCB.
Tulip is a low power device and can run on battery for portable computing. There's a standard JST connector on back for flat li-po or 18650 battery packs. Tulip will charge the battery if you connect a USB power cable to the USB charge/PWR port (the top one.) I personally use [this 1200mAh battery](https://www.adafruit.com/product/258).

Larger batteries will work great and last longer, but you'll have to remove the back case to make them fit (or mount the battery some other way.) [This 5200mAh battery pack](https://www.amazon.com/XINLANTECH-Rechargeable-Bluetooth-Electronic-Batteries/dp/B0C2VFTDPY) will last many many hours on Tulip and fit right on the PCB with the back case removed.
