      I’m building a project to place it in a car dashboard and I am wondering if the internal battery of the basic M5Stack Core can be disabled.
      The reason is that I only want the device to be on when car power is sent through usb c cable and off as soon I switch off the car power when locking car doors.
      Does anyone knows how can I disable the internal battery without having to press a button? Thanks

        @davmartes you could Unplug the battery?
        I think there is also a way to mimic the power button to do it

          I would leave it connected and have an abortable shutdown timer like on some sat navs

            @DavMartEs It's better to cut off the power cord of battery.

              @m5-docs great, thank you. Do you have any picture or diagram that shows the location of the cable?
