Sheet /PWR/POWER_CONNECTORS/ has the symbol BAT1, which has some switches, RVP protection circuitry, and a current sense resistor. There is also the symbol J5 on sheet /PWR/. Why?

this sounds like an exam question.

the symbols in that block are for powering external devices not the device itself, yes i could set the buck to something like 5.6v and then add diode to stop any other devices from attempting to back power the buck, however i dont think this is really going to be needed.
