Anyone done a qi wireless charger on the back?

Odd question but im already making 3d printed mods on the back and wondering if I could include wireless charging onto my uconsole if noones done it I might look into it myself.

It seems to me the easiest option is an external Qi to 5V adapter plugged into the USB C charging port. A troubling alternative is soldering it directly to the 5V and ground pads on the mainboard; without regulating circuitry, wirelessly charging and plugging in a 5V source simultaneously might fry the mainboard.

Theoretically with enough determination and skill someone could create a battery board that has and can handle a second power input.

It might be a foolish idea, but I’d pay for a shim that can go between the 18650 cells and the battery board, to add a secondary charging port without swapping out the existing board, so I can keep using my HackerGadgets board… :upside_down_face:
