This is my first post here, I'm looking to achieve some modification on my GBZ power part.
I'm currently using:
- LiPo Battery 3.7V 4000mAh
- Micro USB charger TP4056
- MT5608 Volt Booster (output 5V)
I'd like to add 2 things to this:
1) Being able to play while plugging power source to TP4056 (using a zener diode and a bypass for load):

2) Adding a LED to warn about low battery (best would be a color changing led (from green to yellow, then orange, then red for example) but I only found this which is already cool:

Here's the schema I made, but I'm not sure I'm right, hence why I need some help from expert (I'm no electronics expert)
Is this OK, or am I going to explode ? (would I always get 5V output from the power boost MT3608 using battery or USB?)
Also, I'd like to know what would be the best in your opinion about the parts used for the power:
1) Can I use a "better" battery ?
- more mAh (limit?)
- not LiPo (LiIon or other? (is it better))
2) About TP4506 & MT3608
- Should I use 1A or 2A version
- Can I use the USB type C version (does it change anything else ? I haven't seen any build using it)
- Any better boards (but not costing 10x times more)
Thank you for your time, and have a great day!
