Anyone else interested in taking a "risk" and charging your phone via pogo pins?
My apologies for the delayed response.
I'd say that it should be all fine and that you're on the right track. Otherwise, how is the battery in the recently announced PinePhone keyboard case going to be (dis)charged? The case connects to the phone only through the pogo pins.

That's probably due to the current-carrying capacity of a single pogo pin. As the single pogo pin probably cannot carry the required current, the only good solution was to use two pogo pins in parallel.
