How difficult is it to retrofit that into older devices? Because I'd love to get rid of my."Miscellaneous Power Cords/Adapters" box on my storage shelf.
pretty easy, if soldering is easy:
(first result from amazon, not endorsement: https://www.amazon.com/Type-C-Trigger-Module-Supports-Output/dp/B08LDJBN8P)
If you can solder and heat shrink then search for "usb c trigger board" on ebay and get some for like $5. They will request either 5v, 9v, 12v, 15v or 20v. I've found for most older battery powered barrel jack devices a voltage that is an little under spec works just fine. Ive convertered everything in my house and now own a nice USB PD battery bank, life is good.
