Electron schematic help

The 3-cell AA Lion pack is working great!

The last thing I need is to eliminate the Electron’s Lipo and use the shield’s auxiliary power terminals only so when the cover switch is open the system has no power at all for long term remote deployment. Once the switch is made the system needs to power up and have full functionality (cellular, GPS and cloud)

I tried this but had no functionality at all after disabling the charging, even with the LiPo still attached: Topic

Will this work and also allow me to get the system power status once powered up?
