The switch should be flipped to the left position (Charg) when charging the battery.
The orange led will be on when the battery is charging.

The Backpack can be charged in 3 different ways.
1.) Through the USB Type B-Mini Female port on the Lithium Backpack when it is attached to a computer.
2.) Through the Arduino when the Backpack is plugged into the Arduino and the Arduino is plugged into a computer.
3.) Through the Arduino when the Backpack is plugged into the Arduino and the Arduino is plugged into a wall power supply.

You know you could have just used a 2.1mm jack and stripped the ends of it, determine positive and negative (negative normally is white) and plugged it into the external Ardunio power plug. That way you can use the ground and +5 headers for other stuff like servos or sensors. Anyways just a suggestion.

How would this work for the 3.3v pin then? Same thing, just use the 3.3v connector on the battery pack?
