   USB ports are not just USB ports. I have a PCI card with USB ports that
provide around 600 mA while the ones on the motherboard provide only around
300 mA (and generally work poorly with the FR). My FR without battery boots
and runs fine off the PCI card USB ports.

   Btw, there's an FSO bug which means that distributions based on FSO won't
work without a battery unless you comment out this part of
/etc/freesmartphone/oevents/rules.yaml:

-
    trigger: PowerStatus()
    filters: HasAttr(status, "empty")
    actions: Command('poweroff')
