Why does the Librem 14 have 2 power ports?

Might be (indeed) and perhaps I wasn’t asking directly, but two of my points (that I would like to learn something about) were:

  • someone will not be able to recharge L14 battery if it ends up with 0% and
  • someone won’t be able to upgrade Coreboot to newer version on L14

by using USB-C PD only (without using 19V barrel jack power charger).

Just my guess (if not question) here why L14 developer Team decided that having barrel jack is nice and necessary feature with L14/Linux combo (as I was not talking about second USB-C PD at all, neither asked for additional opinions on the main subject from @gurk). Until things (two charging ports) are ready to be used I’m sorry if I misinformed anyone by trying to understand why 19V barrel jack is necessary (and not why second USB-C port is missing).

gurk, I like your thread anyway! :joy:
