This case is designed to accommodate the widely available 18650 battery and can be supplied with a V3 board compatibile power cord, which needs to be soldered on the battery tabs.

Alternatively, the case can be ordered with a 102050 plug-and-play battery (which has the correct connector wired in); please note that this battery is sitting loose in the case, so BluTack or double-sided tape may need to be used.

The antenna is a crucial part of any wireless device, but the antenna cable is often overlooked. That's why I have taken the step of ordering custom SMA adaptors for some of my cases. 

These adaptors are designed to have a 35mm cable length, which is shorter than the standard length. This helps to minimize signal loss caused by attenuation.

Please note:

• You need some basic skills in wiring and soldering to install the battery. 

• The case SMA holes tabs needs to be cut off in order to install the SMA connector in the desired place.
