[NTLK] USBC Rechargeable MP2X00 Batttery

[Elias Basse]

After looking at what Matthias has done with his dock connector project it
has inspired me to work on a new USBC integrated battery to fill my need of
portable and charges anywhere.

It is entirely possible to integrate USBC recharging, voltage regulation
and new Lipo technology as well as powering from USBC in a 3d printed
battery shell.

I have begun revising the 3d printed battery holder already available on
GitHub to support a USBC connector and battery.

First question, is anyone beside myself interested in a project like this?

Second question, how much capacity would be enough?  Considering 2200mah is
pretty standard for my re celled NIMH packs, I am aiming for that capacity.

The whole theory is that a fully charged NIMH pack sits at about 5.4v and
there are power bank chips for USB power banks that could supply 5v or more
consistently for days from a foil pack cell as well as voltage and amperage
control (1.2a is the poly fuse rating I think) that I can get for 1-2
dollars on Amazon.  This bypasses the need to power and charge from the
Newton wall adaptor and it would think it's just an alkaline pack that is
always charged.  Adding some over current protection is a must.

Any thoughts?  Should I set up a GitHub or project page?  Or is this a
terrible idea?

Best Regards,
