Hey all, sorry for the probably dumb question but I am new to this and don't want to blow a board....

I have a rak 19007 board powered by a lipo. My question is if I need to disconnect the battery to charge it? Or can I just leave it hooked up, add power via USB c or solar, and have everything work ok (battery charged and then device is powered by the external source)?

According to https://forum.rakwireless.com/t/rak19007-has-charge-regulator-from-the-usb-to-battery/10079/2

You should be fine leaving the battery plugged in.
