Are there any phones or tablets out there that can run on the charger cable only, completely missing the battery? (lemmy.world)

Yep, been there, tried that. I used to work as a mobile device hardware tech for over a decade, though I didn't exactly get the opportunity to experiment with every device that came across my bench ya know..

Then I had to wonder, does the cellphone still refuse to work even though the battery Vcc pin is wired to the wall charger? Do you think it was trying to talk to the battery in a protocol? I don't remember third-party batteries being so sophisticated.
