My goal is to achieve automatic & continuous charge and play when an external PSU is connected. I’ve been digging up peoples’ solutions, and there are some sophisticated ones (i.e. USB-C PD)! I’d like to implement a simpler solution using dedicated Power Path ICs.
Since what I want is effectively mimicking what a laptop does, I started to look at how those guys do it. I came across the LTC4412 and the example from Figure 3 looks like the way to go, but before I go too deep, I’d like to bounce ideas. I started some crude back-of-the-envelope schematic design. Would this work so far?

PS - Thinking of also designing my own BMS with balance charging, short circuit protection, over discharge protection, and a fuel gauge because those generic boards are awful. Though that's a separate thread lol.
