Rainy day project to build a USB power bank. I use a module that has 2 USB standard ports plus USB "C" and Apple Lightning. ****STOP PRESS!!**** It appears that the USB "C" and possibly the Lightning port are inputs only. Sorry for the confusion. The module supports all quick charge protocols and power delivery PD 3.0. A micro USB port is used to charge the 4 18650 cells I recovered from old laptop battery packs. I also designed and printed a case for it in Tinkercad. The design is available here : tinkercad.com/things/5CZkxmZpfGy Also on Thingiverse : thingiverse.com/thing:4841288
