I'm not very knowledgeable on batteries - but the patch looks good to me.

Could you perhaps explain what exactly this fixes? I've seen some
interesting behaviour when plugging a Droid 4 into a PC (or wall
charger, really): the led blinks for a few seconds until it stabilises.

And then there's the issue where, once the battery is full, it will
switch between charging and discharging every few seconds/minutes.

Cheers,
Merlijn
