How are you the first "USB Power Delivery battery"? What's a Mophie?

Note that Power Delivery here is not just using Marketing Caps, it's an actual thing. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#USB_Power_Delivery. It's very new, based on USB 3.0, so it is probably a valid claim.

I wonder if this will sprout a power supply accessory, i.e. a device that speaks to a USB PD source and lets you locally set the output voltage to whatever you need. That way you could use the PD source to charge "legacy" products that don't support PD.
