No that would not work. The boost is a different PCB with a voltage
converter that "boosts" the input voltage to whatever is needed to
charge batteries. What can be changed on every PCB (basic and boost), by
swapping a few components, is the number of battery cells (2 or 3) it is
supposed to work with. By default, basic is 2 cells and boost is 3
cells. But basic does not boost input voltage an cannot acomodate any
charger to charge batteries.

Indeed, I will contact everybody soon :)
