I would *not* be comfortable charging batteries inside the K1 case, since
there's no barrier around the batteries to prevent chemical leakage on to
the K1 PCBs.

That connector is already there.  The audio output to the speaker is exactly
the same as the output to the phones.  That's one reason it's an advantage
to connect the K1 phone jack for for a mono plug (disconnect the "ring"
connection).  Then the plug for mono phones or an external speaker can be
inserted fully without shorting the audio to ground.
