I've unplugged (for now ) but this post suggests that 4.5 volts is max voltage:

Electron Power Managment on Four AA Batteries

@RWB , @ScruffR Good news! I connected the Electron via the JST connector to a 3 AA battery pack and the unit works well. I then disconnected the battery pack and connected the LiPo battery and the USB cable to my computer and the Electron. Added the following to lines to see if the Fuel Gauge was harmed by the 6 volts from the 4 AA battery pack yesterday: FuelGauge fuel; Serial.println( fuel.getVCell() ); Serial.println( fuel.getSoC() ); Result: voltage: 3.94 soc: 67.16 Bottom lin…

If 4.5 is ok. Any other reason not to plug in to the JST if I don't have the usb power connected? Also, is there a better way to connect the 3xAAA battery pack?
