Data captured from MTDL unit via MQQT shows that PCB heating due to re-charging has minimal influence if the discharge period is kept to less than ~8 hours.

## MQQT
Two <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MQTT" target="_blank">MQQT</a> streams are published if suitable settings are applied to the 'secrets.py' file. The streams are Temperature and Voltage of the battery (or USB if powered from a USB port).

The data taken over a number of days shows that if the 2000 mAh battery terminal voltage drop due to dicharge is kept to less than ~ 0.1 Volt, ~ 8 hours. The subsequent re-charge cycle does not unduly influence measured temperature. Voltage delta might be used to detect removal of the USB power as the MagTag can not identify the power source.
