2s 40A PSU and charger
techy-robot/CACKLE-PSU-2s_40A_PSU_and_charger
This is a rather complex power supply unit. It supports USB-C Power Delivery at 9volt 2 amps, and can charge a 2 cell lipo battery. It can pump out 40 amps if the battery supports the current.

USB only 2A PSU one side
techy-robot/CACKLE-PSU-USB_2A_PSU_1side
The main ICs are an mcu, and a 5v 2a switching regulator. The system can theoretically handle 20 volt spikes, but this is mostly meant for 5v output on one side only.
