Our second PCB iteration was medium-sized and used SMD components. We decided to use a small lithium-ion battery, (100mAh), to store charge for nighttime use. It was able to support Samsung charging, but we still needed to figure out how to charge an iPhone.

This PCB was a bit smaller than the first, so it was easier to add to the design and looked more aesthetic on the visor.
