Hello, excuse me for my poor English…
I was thinking to give (permanently) power to my smart citizen using a wall mobile charger with micro usb…
Do you think that it would be a good idea?
Could anybody say what would be the necessary specifications? Voltage? mA?
Thanks in advance

Hi @dims,
My SCK has been on a USB power supply for almost a year. I use a 5V, 1A wall charger. I purchased mine from Sparkfun. I’m not sure about the max voltage in-put at the USB, but the kit can use a 17V solar cell to charge the Li battery (and the board has step-down circuitry to control the higher in-put), so it might also have some flexibility for the kind of USB power supply used.
I have’t ever had trouble, and it has been through Summer heat in excess of 100°F and Winter cold below 0°F.

Thanks a lot, Matt! I already did it and it works fine!
