Here's the offer. Convince me that the part number you suggest is the best at this job and very reliable, and I will buy one for me, and a free one for you.
I have a portable radio I use a lot, and it works off of 9V or a 110V AC-adapter. It uses six 1.5V disposables in series, but I know I could run it off of a DC/DC powered by lithium cells (I have a bunch). I also have a 14V solar PV panel designed to charge 12V SLA's (which are 13V when fully charged). My cell phone and favorite flashlight run off of a common 5V USB (each has its own on-board 4.2V charger), and I have several 12V-to-USB adapters (very common).
I used to live in earthquake country, and now I live in tornado country, so...I would not be shocked to have the power go out on me for several weeks at some point in my life (see: Puerto Rico, September 2017)
I also have several LED lanterns that run off of anything from 4.5V (three AA's) to 6V (four D's). My plan is to make dummy cells to insert into the stock battery cubby-hole and have two wires exiting these devices with a common socket style (XT60?), and the voltage posted on the wires. I will make up several 18650-packs with an embedded DC/DC and voltage readout. Charge lithium packs with 12V, and power several devices with adjustable DC/DC output.
My laptop is labeled 19V (actually 6S), but I have a 12V-to-laptop charger...
