Hello,
I would want to know the specifics of the Pinephone keyboard destroying Pinephones through the USB-C Sideboard before offering advice but in my general experience with the Pinephone and SBC's such as the Pi, Arduino etc you need to make sure that the battery is adjusted to the proper "Maximum charge level" in the tweeks app as well as-since it has been reported as an issue for that particular component-a volage-tester(voltameter) for SBC components from Amazon or Adafruit or whomever. I'll start looking for one now and follow up. I think I got mine from the HackerBox dude.
Power to most electronic devices has to be precise- no more, no less. I was able to correct the issue of screen flicker of which is commonly reported as a firmware issue (not in my case) by adjusting my Maximum charging level to 100% and only charging with a Pi 4 power source instead of leftover power sources from just any device or voltage rating and I would suspect any issues arising out of use with the keyboard could be mediated similarly.
