Pin 1 of P1 can be connected to a 5V power supply.

Pin 14 of P2 can be connected to a lithium Ion/Polymer battery and Pin 16 of 
P2 can be connected to a lithium Ion/Polymer batter's "temp" wire.  I *think* 
this is includes a charging circuit -- if power is supplied via Pin 1 of P1 or 
via the USB this pin will charge a lithium Ion/Polymer battery.

It is possible to solder headers to the pins.  *I* solder male pins to the 
underside and have designed "base boards" with female headers. These base 
boards include a power supply circuit.  It is also possible (with a 
difficulty) to solder female header to the top of the board (there are some 
clearance issues).
