I'm creating an 18650 phone charger which follows this tutorial.

Basically the 18650 battery connected to the TP4056 module.  Then I have that connecting to a boost converter to step up the 2.8V - 4.2V (from the 18650) up to 5V.  The boost module has a USB output which I can then connect to my phone.

My problem is that after connecting my phone, I can confirm a correct 5V but it only draws like 60-80mA (confirmed with my multimeter).

I initially thought maybe I had high wire resistance but it still doesn't draw many amps.

What am I doing wrong here?  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you
