not sure about the nuc though
its probably the plastic it would be a small minus on the apple tv
plastic more times than not looks cheap
The reason for the two boxes is twofold - to ease any replacement of batteries by the user - to allow using this to possibly power other devices.
well a case could come in two pieces, power unit and device, either mounted stacked or side by side,
in such a way that it looks seamless
dunno how feasible a power unit is for other devices
the existing ciunas is 3.3v nearly all other devices is 5v and some is 12v which arent multiples of 3.3v
which would have to use regulators and loose a large proportion of the sq benefit
or theres my isolation trickery that charges each cell individually to set voltage and allows these cells to be put in series
It shouldn't have any SQ issues if connectors & wiring are suitably chosen - I haven't heard any SQ penalties from this battery configuration.
wouldnt think it would be a problem
