First store listing — lithium 1S battery

Angel requested this as the first general-public product while authorizing storefront remediation. Candidate identified by read-only ERP inspection: EE-C-0184, InvenTree part 198, Battery_LiPo_401520_100mAh_3.7V. The other battery record is a generic empty-stock design symbol. Angel confirmed this is the correct battery on 2026-09-19. On 2026-09-20 he supplied a real sample photograph and a polarity reference. Approved price is $5.95 each for 1–4 and $4.99 each for 5+, shipping separately.

Recorded product facts

  • 1S lithium-polymer pouch cell, nominal 3.7 V, 100 mAh, format 401520.
  • ERP notes record 4 × 15 × 20 mm, protection PCB, red/black leads, 1.25 mm two-pin connector. Verify the complete assembly envelope and polarity; pitch alone does not establish the connector series or compatibility.
  • Calculated nominal energy: 3.7 V × 0.1 Ah = 0.37 Wh. This calculation is not a manufacturer transport qualification.
  • ERP total/unallocated stock 85, no allocations. Stock item 30 notes say opening count was about 85 (2026-09-16). Recount before treating it as exact sellable stock. ERP part notes still say not counted; current stock record is more recent evidence but approximate.
  • No linked manufacturer/supplier part, product image or purchase price was returned. The ERP part is currently not marked salable. Production ERP was not modified.

Store preparation

Development WooCommerce product 53, SKU EE-C-0184, URL /product/ee-c-0184/. Public-facing copy contains the recorded nominal specifications, approximate 4 × 15 × 20 mm cell dimensions, connector/polarity diagram and conservative LiPo handling. The diagram states mating-face view with latch up: left cavity black/GND (−), right cavity red/VBAT (+). It intentionally does not publish unverified charging or discharge limits or claim an exact connector family. Approved quantity pricing is configured. Production release remains pending; the fictional dev checkout exception is not live availability. Meta stores ERP identity and observed count separately from sellable stock.

The two studio product images and technical diagram were prepared from Angel's actual sample photographs. They do not establish certification, discharge/charge rating, brand or connector series. Existing sample products remain fictional test fixtures, separate from this actual product candidate.

Open

  • Photograph the actual battery, connector face/polarity and label; publish an oriented polarity diagram and retain a full-resolution version.
  • Obtain supplier/manufacturer/model, datasheet and exact connector series.
  • Verify count, packed dimensions and weight. Reconfirm production-stock polarity with a meter before release. Charging/discharge limits are intentionally omitted unless verified documentation is obtained later.
  • Obtain the applicable UN 38.3 test summary and verify the actual cell matches the documentation.
  • Establish packaging and a carrier/service permitted for standalone lithium-ion cells; rate and destination rules must reject unsupported services and addresses. Do not inherit blanket international shipping.
  • Finish ERP catalog/allocation integration, payment acceptance and order fulfillment verification before enabling a live offer.

Shipping source checks

Read on 2026-09-19: PHMSA lithium battery transportation and test summaries. Actual manufacturer traceability and transport documentation are missing in the current ERP record.

USPS international requirements prohibit lithium batteries sent separately from equipment in international mail. USPS domestic requirements depend on the specific cell, packaging and service; do not conclude that every air/surface service is eligible from capacity alone. International sale through another carrier would require its own acceptance and destination review.

2026-09-19: Read-only ERP observations now refresh every five minutes into private listing metadata. Observed count is still distinct from sellable stock and an exact recount. Storefront price remains blank and purchase availability held. Public development listing: https://dev.embeddedera.com/product/1s-lipo-battery-100mah/.

  • 2026-09-19: Product identity confirmed by Angel. Generic 1S LiPo illustration attached through native WooCommerce media (attachment 77), with visible illustration disclosure and descriptive alt text; actual product photo deferred. No connector family, certification or brand is implied. Selling price blank, sale stock zero and purchase guard unchanged.

Pricing proposal — 2026-09-19

Angel reports approximate purchase cost of $1.50 per cell; inbound freight/duty inclusion is not confirmed. This is an estimate, not a verified ERP valuation. Proposed retail $5.95 plus separately charged shipping, not yet applied. Product-cost gross margin: 74.8%. Illustrative single-item contribution: $5.95 minus $1.50 cell, $0.47 domestic card fee (Stripe 2.9% + $0.30), and assumed $0.50 packaging = $3.48 before labor, returns, overhead, tax and extra processing fees on shipping/tax. With an illustrative $1 packing-labor allowance: $2.48. Packaging allowance is not a verified compliant packaging quote. Proposed five-pack $24.95 ($4.99 each), subject to actual fulfillment costs.

Market reference checked: Adafruit 100 mAh 3.7 V battery at $5.95. Different size/connector and documentation; pricing reference, not an equivalent part. Stripe standard pricing. Recommendation only; no storefront price or sale availability changed.

Approved pricing applied — 2026-09-19

Angel approved $5.95 each and $24.95 per five-pack, shipping separately charged. Single product 53 updated; native five-pack product 78 / SKU EE-C-0184-5PACK created. Both retain pending release and zero sale stock; purchasability false verified. Five-pack metadata maps to ERP part 198 with five units per item; this is a mapping requirement, not a connected allocation adapter. No ERP quantity was changed. Rendered prices, shipping note and Coming soon states verified for both URLs. Source script: scripts/configure-battery-pricing.php, commit 27eb971.

One listing with quantity breaks — 2026-09-19

Angel replaced separate single/five-pack offers with one listing (product53/SKU EE-C-0184). Approved all-unit prices: 1–4 at $5.95 each, 5+ at $4.99 each, any whole-number quantity. Six cost $29.94. Free Tiered Pricing Table7.1.7 supplies editable fixed rules and native cart pricing. Product78 remains draft/hidden for historical five-pack orders; old public URL redirects to the single. ERP quantities now equal purchased units; historical five-pack mapping remains. Launch hold, zero sale stock and generic-photo disclosure remain. SOP-036v1.1 documents the repeatable workflow.

2026-09-19: At Angel’s request, the single battery listing is available for explicitly fictional checkout in dev. Product testflag and localoption enable a narrow pending-release exception with fictional stock allowance100; this is not live ERP availability. Real launch remainspending. Only test cheque/no payment is offered, with no shipping; oldpack remainsdraft. See SOP-035 for test orders.

2026-09-19: Angel reaffirmed the $5.95 / $4.99 tier and chose to omit unverified charging/discharge limits. Development listing copy now uses approximate cell dimensions, polarity and compatibility warnings, conservative LiPo handling and destination/service-dependent shipping. Production requirements still include the actual photo, manufacturer/model/datasheet, polarity, exact count, UN 38.3 test summary, compliant packaging/carrier service and ERP allocation. Source and live checks passed; production release remains pending.

2026-09-20: Replaced the generic illustration with an optimized featured image prepared from Angel's actual sample. Added a technical diagram below Specifications: mating-face view, latch up; left cavity black/GND (−), right cavity red/VBAT (+). Numerical pin assignments and the connector family remain intentionally unstated until the exact series is verified. The 300-pixel WebP diagram links to its full-resolution WebP; the WooCommerce gallery retains one image and its lightweight path. Source/live policy checks passed, responsive phone/desktop rendering was reviewed, and production release remains pending on supplier documentation, exact connector series, count, transport, shipping and ERP gates.

2026-09-20: Angel supplied two clearer sample photographs. Replaced the featured listing image with a professional white-background labeled view and added a matching connector-focused reverse view as a linked 300-pixel WebP detail image. Both retain the observed red/black leads, pouch construction and white two-pin connector; no pinout callouts or new connector-family claims were added. The second image stays in the description so WooCommerce keeps the fast single-image gallery. Live 375/1440 browser checks found both versioned images, no overflow and no JavaScript errors. Prices, fictional stock100, test checkout and the production hold were unchanged. Source commit c02f9b8.

USPS rule for loose cells — read 2026-10-30 (Pub 52 349.241/349.244, pe.usps.com/text/pub52/pub52c3_028.htm)

Mailable by surface only (Ground Advantage; Priority/air prohibited). Mailpiece ≤ 5 lb. Cells in their sealed packaging. Each battery must display a Wh marking (349.241c) — our samples show only V/mAh, so they likely fail as-is. Box: DOT lithium battery mark with UN3480 on the address side + text "Surface Mail Only, Lithium-ion Batteries - Forbidden for Transportation Aboard Passenger Aircraft". Declare hazmat in Pirate Ship (undeclared → USPS hazmat non-compliance fee). UN 38.3 summary required (349.221(1); 49 CFR 173.185). Blockers to selling: Wh-marked cells, sealed individual packaging, UN 38.3 summary — ask the supplier. Live listing is "Coming soon" until then.
