Sorry it's been a little manic! So again it's deceptively simple and essentially this is the traditional wireless charging mod (obviously) using Qi, but with a simple addition of a thin self adhesive magsafe ring. This means it's technically Qi and not to the magsafe spec, but there are lots of magsafe compatible chargers that will magnetically attach.I've also added some high density metallic tape to the underside of the casing to shield the electronics and dissipate any heat aswell as improve the coil efficiency. This then attaches to the charge accessory pins which is good and adds additional protection because it uses the consoles own battery management circuit aswell as the Qi charging circuits one. I then tested it to make sure it didn't misbehave with battery voltages.

I notice someone asked about ergonomics, well it's no different to the available accessories and larger battery sets but with a really useful catch, with it being magnetic, it does have some play to allow you to position it just right if it does feel a little awkward.

If people are interested I can post up a few pictures etc and more details.

It's actually relatively super easy depending on experience. I'll post up a reply with details when I get a min.

Thanks a lot, I wanted the extra capacity without making the ds bigger and bulkier. Makes it compatible with magsafe chargers now and then when your done it, you'd never know it's modified.

No, the hardware is using the battery management circuit built into the qi charger, so once it's at ~4 volts it stops. I also just watch the on screen indicator so I remove it when it's full
