Questions

How big is the Usbc lipo charger PCB?

It measures 36 × 16.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Usbc lipo charger use?

18 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Usbc lipo charger KiCad files?

From the danielkm-ee/pcb_portfolio repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is usbc_lipo_charger/usbc_lipo_charger.kicad_pcb and its schematic dorji_radio/dorji_radio.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Usbc lipo charger design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask danielkm-ee before reusing the design.
