  1. thx for the quick reply. To clarify, if I am correct that usb2 supplies .5 amps, is that an issue with this being a 1amp onboard charger? And if I so desired, could I limit the charging to always be .5amps via escribe? But I'll read the datasheet and find out more.
  2. Hello, I got my first dna75 device (a sbody macro dna75) one is listed here I bought this because of how small it is. I wanted a small single 18650 and this fits the bill. However, getting a battery properly seated into this sucker is a major pain in the ass. Up to this point with my other mods, I've always externally charged, but I'm considering leaving the battery in this device at all times and charging via the usb port only. I've read dna boards are the safest when it comes to usb charging, not sure if this applies to all dna, or only the dna 200's. First question, I've read dna75's charge at 1amp, but I also read that only applies to dna75c and some (all?) dna75 devices use the usb port for updates only and not for charging. I've just got this device and haven't charged yet. I've always liked the idea of slow charging to extend battery life. My external charger charges at .5 amp. If I install the escrib software can you set a limit of .5 amps for charging? Is there any reason I should strongly consider updating the firmware? No idea what version of dna firmware this comes with out of the box. If I charge via a computer port on my home pc, I've read that usb2 ports typically give .5 amps and I believe usb3 gives 1 (maybe 2?) amps. Is there any concern if I charge this on a usb2 port? Not sure if it will be fine and slow charge at .5 amps or does the board expect at least 1 amp and charging with anything less could cause issues. My wall chargers are from phones/tablets and give I believe 2 amps. I assume these are ok and it will just draw 1 amp.
