In my application I want to power a USB charger which could draw more then the 200mA available from either the right or left sideboard cables. Is there a spot on the control board I could safely tap off of the battery voltage and step it down to 5V allowing me to pull as much as a full 1A. I know I can tap directly off the battery, but I prefer only to power the charger when the system is switched on. Not all the time.
