Preffered way for me is using the jst connector and making the module external with the male connector(female on battery) + slapping a ram heatsink on it for good measure and enclose all the shabang in shrinkwrap. Also easier to replace that way if charger module stops working.

Interesting approach
I will consider this if I will be unable to fix the issue on the motherboard. For now it looks like something in the region of BQ24074 is causing trouble.

My USB port is a little funky - it got loose, so I bend it back a little together after opening. It was causing lack of contact from time to time.
However now I am getting stable +5V delivered to motherboard.
