Our third PCB iteration used SMD components and was a smaller size, and used the same battery as the second iteration. It was able to charge a Samsung phone, Airpods, and an iPhone!

We figured out how to solve the data line issues that were stopping us from charging an iPhone by adding voltage dividers. We also used different regulators for this iteration because we needed to get 1 A from the circuit.
