Be extremely cautious with this, as your battery could burn/explode because of too much heat!

I have been monitoring it, and not had any issues so far.

It's 2100 mah, should last longer than adafruit's 2000mah then. Alright thanks! This might fit since it's a bit smaller than yours. 2100mah. I believe it's from a galaxy s3 I am currently using a battery from a Galaxy S3 and it works fine. Awesome. Did you solder directly to the battery or did you ...

i would be more concerned with what mah that is, its no good using that if your pi's gonna last 10 mins or something It's 2100 mah, should last longer than adafruit's 2000mah then. I used the battery from my broken Samsung Galaxy s4. 3.8 v was no problem. I soldered wires onto mine without problems...

My goal is to use a low footprint solution, and use what we have, and not spend more than $10 total. I'm currently testing with a transistor switch that cos...

I did find this, which should work for your design as well.
