[Relocation of the USB ?]

Stupid phone. So the mech mounts are solely mechanical eyelets, no runs to anytwhwere else on the board?

The USB pads are surface mount. The mechanical mounts for the connector are through hole slots.

Here is my prototype

Amazing work! Do you mind measuring the minimum and maximum depth into the box that the 200 creates inside your box as well as the boxes wall thickness? Much appreciated if you are willing.

I'm guessing that since you said "shoot" it's a silicone resin not an RTV. What is the mildest solvent to break adheasion?

[Lipo pack output wire]

Immediately I would say just procure a power source that fits each criteria you have. Second option, be sure to understand the the elements of the LiPo pack you are going to be working on. Remove the branded PVC wrapping, be sure to save any installed fixtures used to separate or guide the packs output. Eleminate as much residual charge on the pack. Either use discrete removal of any pins that will need to be returned to the junction connector or order new ones. Work one lead at a time, making sure to not have any others exposed or potentially expose. Remove the Leads you do not feel are adequate and replace with those you do. Rinse and repeat for each lead. Resolder JCT pins to new leads and reassemble connector. Use a good quality PVC Shrink wrap to return everything back to the way it came (save what you newly installed). If it were me, I would just spend half the time I would doing a rework like that researching the perfect LiPo for my application though

Are the solder landings supporting the preinstalled micro-B female top mount or through mount? I'm assuming top mount, but had a hard time being certain when just comparing the different pictures I've seen.

I would probably massacre a USB micro B extension...

Nailed it John. This was my thinking. A section of preassembled and properly shielded power and data cable is invaluable when compared to building your own. This was originally my question (thanks David) as I was always a little confused by limiting the only transition input jack in the whole setup slaved to one place. I truly believe that remote mounting it, or at least the option to would open up quite a few great options. I just got registered and will start chimming in more and more as we go along
