 I was examining the power supply part of the Thingy and I noticed that the charging current is set to 0.5 C, wich is 720 mA (checking XR6804&amp;#39;s datasheet it seems that actually it has been set to 784 mA).

&lt;p&gt;I will get back to you on the first question. &lt;strong&gt;Update:&lt;/strong&gt; If the USB cable can only provide 500 mA, then it will charge with 500 mA. If however you theoretically had a USB that can charge with 720 mA (or 784 mA), then this max current could be provided.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the second question, a constant discharge current was used &amp;amp; voltage of the battery was measured along the way. The Thingy:52 was fully charged &amp;amp; then constantly discharged until the battery was depleted. The discharge current used was 73 mA. The Thingy:52 battery capacity is 1440 mAh.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kind Regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bjørn&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
