Thinking about repurposing old phones as servers. Would it be possible to add an extremely low power pcb which switches USB power on/of? So by discharging them regularly the OG phone batteries keep on working safely? This would allow phones to charge during the day on solar & using the battery at night.

@BjornW I hope it helps - but I can't take credit. @burtyb posted it a couple of days ago, I just forwarded it along. :)
