Hi Mex,
From the reading I've done LI doesn't like to be overcharged. It is quite happy to "stand" at 95%. Speed charging may be bad too. USB presents a pretty low charge rate.
When I plug my cell phone into a twelve volt cigarette lighter outlet with two female usb ports and use the GPS feature the screen being on causes the phone to discharge over an 8 hour day. DAMHIK.
It does slightly better from a USB port on my laptop.
It will not discharge when I use the wall wart on either of my inverters (one is MSW and the big one is PSW).
I hope this helps.
