Battery pack and cooling fan expansion card

Alternative idea: instead of attaching the battery to the bottom, attach it to the back of the screen/lid/top case/whatever it’s called. That way it wouldn’t cover the fans, but would still utilize the full area of the laptop. Potential problems with balancing the laptop, and of course you’re using up a port, but the first could be solved with a kickstand of some sort (or possibly a counterweight, though I don’t like that idea), and the second isn’t of much consequence as people have said in other threads that it would be possible to make a card have both PD over USB-C and a separate USB-C port that cannot carry power into the computer. The trickiest part would be getting the laptop to think that the external battery was part of the laptop’s internal battery. I’m not an engineer or anything though.

At that point just get a low profile right angle usb c cable or some other trick with an expansion card/slot. Then just velcro a battery bank to the back of the screen. I really don’t think there’s a market for a solution like you’re proposing. It’ll be jank either way, might as well use jank that I already own.
