Low power board with enclosure but no lithium battery

[homelesspals]

Hi!

I'm trying to buy phone dongles that add LoRa networking to Android phones.

I do not want to buy Meshtastic devices that use cobalt/lithium batteries. I also do not want to make my own enclosure. Preferably, I would like to find a low power board to purchase as well, but it may not be possible to meet all of these constraints.

The most important constraint is that the board does not rely on a lithium battery for power, but I don't know how to make enclosures, so I can't just buy development boards. I would appreciate suggestions for navigating this quandary. If there are low-power development boards that come in their own enclosures, that would be ideal.

Thank you!

The most complete package you're going to find is the T1000e. I realize it does have a battery but as long as you keep it plugged into your phone it will rely on the phone battery. Other than that, you're going to need a 3d printer unfortunately.
