I have a Maple Rev 5 with me, and a project I'm hoping to make will utilize a LiPo battery too. On the Maple website's documentation for the hardware (<a href="http://leaflabs.com/docs/hardware/maple.html)" rel="nofollow">http://leaflabs.com/docs/hardware/maple.html)</a>, I can see that the USB and EXT jumper selects between the USB port and Barrel-jack connection for charging the connected Lipo, but what does the BAT header-pair do? Run the Maple directly off of the Lipo?</p> <p>Also, if we disconnect the USB or Barrel connector when the charging is done, does the Maple switch to using the LiPo battery power until one of the jacks is re-inserted? </p>
