Since there will be a view pieces of the first version in the field soon a brief summary from my side:
The system will output the same voltage as you have on the input side minus the foreward voltage of the used diode. That's why I recommend a oversized Schottky diode.
Be aware that you will have to adjust the DC/DC converter after the battery to a voltage slightly below the voltage at the output, otherwise there will be a steady current over the charging borad.
I also recommend to solder the boards directly to the connection board with 1mm wires or similar and put a spacer below. Pin headers also work but lead to instability and voltage losses due to bad contact resistance.
The following parts can be used:
If you have questions if a specific device will fit, don't hesitate to write me.

The following parts can be used:
- SBX 3030 Schottky diode or similar
- TP 5100 Lithium-Ion Battery Charger board
- FDC 2s-2 protection board alternative a HX-2S-JH20 board will fit
- 2s 18650 cell holder THT version with pins
- 2 18650 Lithium-ion cells (not LiFePo)
- NC bimetall disc switch 45°C
- XL 6009 DCDC converter (with voltmeter and without voltmeter)
- fuse holder 5x20mm for THT mounting
