You can plug the 8.4V/2A charger provided for charging the batteries. Note that the 8.4V interface is the charging port.

The 40 pin GPIO header has both GPIOs and power pins. You cannot power a RPi though signal pins. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding terms being noted in these posts, but regardless just thought I'd be helpful and point out that it does work. Here's another thread on this forum where it also mentions it isn't possible through the GPIO pins. Second post in this thread specifically reads, "You can't power the Pi via the GPIO.

In this very thread and others (link below to another topic on this forum). After all, that's how the official PoE HAT does it.

It's common knowledge that the Pi 4B can be powered via the "GPIO" header if you supply a stable 5V with sufficient current to the correct pins. Thought I'd post this here since it took me several hours to figure out, and a lot of folks saying it wasn't possible with Pi 4B to direct power through the 40 Pin GPIO.
