Price of the Freerunner spare parts

[Federico Lorenzi]

I was just about to ask, what would happen if I enabled 1A charging
when the Freerunner was plugged into a normal USB port? AFAIK some
devices do draw more then spec (USB laptop hdds come to mind), and
these seem to work fine.

Cheers
Federico
