Hi Mychaela, Although not an EE expert, I remember GSM phones from the late 90s had a big capacitor inside, probably because the batteries at the time were not capable of such high sure current. Then modern Li-ion started becoming popular and the need for such capacitor lessened afaik.
In theory you could add such a capacitor between 5v and GND although it would technically not be authorized by the USB spec. But there should be no issue as long as there is protection to the USB port itself. But then again, I'm no expert on the suject ;-) --DS _______________________________________________ Community mailing list [email protected] https://www.freecalypso.org/mailman/listinfo/community
