Hi,

Which things can I do with an old android phone ? Like a Xiaomi mi a3.

    Can you run phones without batteries off of AC?

      Depends on the design of the phone. Some will work just fine off of USB power. Some will try to detect a battery and then fail the boot. For the ones that are more troublesome you’ll have to Google the instructions on to make a dummy battery load. The important thing is to get the lithium ion battery out of the circuit.
