Ooooh, I love it!!
There’s a similar topic in #wishlist: Rechargeable backup battery for power outage. But I’ve kept this one separate because it’s suggesting a battery that plugs into the existing USB port.
And guess what? It may not even need and hardware or firmware changes in the camera. I did a little test and I’m able to power a stock V2 using the USB-A port instead of the microUSB. We already know that the USB-A port can supply power (for daisy chaining). So if the battery device were smart enough to charge when power is available and supply power when none is sensed coming in, the camera wouldn’t even need to “know” about it.
My only hesitation would be how much battery power could fit in the form factor. But if the device were the same profile as the Sense Bridge but maybe an inch thick, I think it could possibly provide enough power to at least get you through a short outage.
