The JST connector is very common for these kinds of batteries. You can also use the header pins to skip the connector and charge the battery that way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two LEDs show the status of the charging process. While the battery is charging, the \"Charge\" (orange) LED is on, once the battery is fully charged the \"Done\" (green) LED lights up. It is normal for either or both LEDs to be on if no battery is connected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ww1.microchip.com\/downloads\/en\/DeviceDoc\/MCP73831-Family-Data-Sheet-DS20001984H.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eMCP73831 datasheet\u003c\/a\u003e for more details about the charging process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy default the battery is charged with 500mA, if you want to change the charge current you can change the R2 resistor.
