FPZ has been used for some 5-6 charging cycles with batteries, before that on cord for numerous times.
Batteries initially Redox LiPo 700 mAh 3S, disconnected the serial connection and soldered elements parallel, see attachement. Was not able to find right connector, used JST and soldered it on board to one connector, as seen on another image.
Disconnected batteries, after plugging in the charging cable light is still blue. Done with Raspberry attached and without.
With the charging cable still plugged in, plug in a battery - nothing happened, still blue.
Freeplay Zero all hooked up to the Pi, plug power directly to the Pi - it booted up properly and works fine.
