The beginning
To understand the project in its entirety...
During the research process of this project, my team and I conducted a user survey in order to get a more in-depth understanding of user charging habits and their mobile device's battery health. We wrote a short survey and sent it to appropriate groups that match the target user profile (Mobile device owners). We received about 50 responses.
