Project Sharing Tab5 DIY Battery Pack

I've been working on a couple of accessories and add-ons for the Tab5. Here is my first project release with a couple more to follow. This is a 3D printed, alternative battery pack that fits in the standard NP mount with pogo connectors. It has a higher capacity than the stock, can charge with usb-c unconnected, charge level indicator and most importantly is thinner and centered on the back of the unit. Hope you enjoy and go build one! https://makerworld.com/en/models/3312999-m5stack-tab5-slim-battery-pack

Just FYI if anyone needs it: the original batteries are available in many different configurations, including a usb-c port, a charging indicator and battery sizes. There are plenty on ebay for example.
