Blog Entry © Monday, July 27, 2026, by James Pate Williams, Jr. and More Importantly the Microsoft AI-Agent, the Microsoft Copilot, Charge and Discharge Data and Graphs for a Relatively New Battery in an Elderly iPhone 5 (2012)

I had the local CELLAIRIS store install a new battery in my iPhone 5 on Wednesday, March 18, 2026. I also purchased a new charging block and charging/sync cable. I am very satisfied with the performance of the new battery and necessary accessories. See the attached Excel spreadsheet for the details. The total cost was a mere $109 USD.

The accompanying Excel Workbook contains six spreadsheets: two charge sheets and four discharge sheets. The charge spreadsheets contain graphs (linear regression curve fitting with equations and R-Square values). The linear regression statistics show that the charging process is highly linear.

I plan on using my old iPhone 5 primarily as a two-step authenticator device. Gone are the days when I used (abused) my phone with playing iTunes music.

My whole legal name is James Pate Williams, Jr. I was born in LaGrange, Georgia approximately 70 years ago. I barely graduated from LaGrange High School with low marks in June 1971. Later in June 1979, I graduated from LaGrange College with a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with a little over a 3 out 4 Grade Point Average (GPA). In the Spring Quarter of 1978, I taught myself how to program a Texas Instruments desktop programmable calculator and in the Summer Quarter of 1978 I taught myself Dayton BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) on LaGrange College's Data General Eclipse minicomputer. I took courses in BASIC in the Fall Quarter of 1978 and FORTRAN IV (Formula Translator IV) in the Winter Quarter of 1979. Professor Kenneth Cooper, a genius poly-scientist taught me a course in the Intel 8085 microprocessor architecture and assembly and machine language. We would hand assemble our programs and insert the resulting machine code into our crude wooden box computer which was designed and built by Professor Cooper. From 1990 to 1994 I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from LaGrange College. I had a 4 out of 4 GPA in the period 1990 to 1994. I took courses in C, COBOL, and Pascal during my BS work. After graduating from LaGrange College a second time in May 1994, I taught myself C++. In December 1995, I started using the Internet and taught myself client-server programming. I created a website in 1997 which had C and C# implementations of algorithms from the "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by Alfred J. Menezes, et. al., and some other cryptography and number theory textbooks and treatises.
