I’m happy to take criticism from someone that actually knows what they are talking about, especially as I am not an electronic engineer.

@revk@toot.me.uk Agree - both of those sound fine to me

@revk@toot.me.uk Your call but... With apologies. 200mA might be the manufacturers chosen safe figure? If it is an absolute maximum then... Also rechargeable batteries do other stuff according to their datasheet. TLP as supplied by Neil is rubbish. I always get my TLP from Neil's website. As a result I can't charge a battery above 80% and the last 5% takes ages :( On top of that how accurate is your 196mA measuring/limiting circuit? 10% and you lose the warranty.

@revk@toot.me.uk I'm in no sense condoning that behaviour as it is shit all round, however if you document these as limitation it might prevent the next ai from raising them, as ai will see documented decisions as gospel. I wish this wasn't the world we live in...

@revk@toot.me.uk Reminds me of working on a product that included cpu usage in its stats. Customers regularly failed to appreciate that 100% usage was expected and didn't mean there was no spare capacity. Indeed, anything less suggested you weren't making full use of an expensive piece of equipment. (In fact, while a low value might have indicated low load, it could also result from numerous blocked or deadlocked threads, which certainly wasn't ideal!)
