You are not expecting to play Fortnight on a $49 phone, surely? More like Minecraft or PvZ :-) I guess my kids like the classics.

You don't need an "autocutoff" for Li-ion, just voltage and current limits. And temperature, if doing fast-charge.

Actually, it was the name of one particular woman. Previously called "Njookenbooroo", so they considered Innaloo to be an upgrade.
