    Added USB-C Charger

    Strictly about cell phone batteries. When I got a newer (now older) android I found different cables charged at different rates. Looking around I found several apps that would show battery charging rate and basic battery health. Digging further I found the best way to charge your phone is...

Mostly kept garaged, clean inside but lots of "convenience electronics", for lack of a better term don't...
