Thanks. I'll try the ADP5588. The reason why I don't want to use Teensy or 
any other usb solution is that I will most likely be using my project with 
Beaglebone's integrated battery charging features. Therefore I wont have 
USB host. I plan on trying to get usb host working on batteries by 
connecting a boost regulator from the 3.3v rail to pins 2&3 of U8(which 
regulates power for usb host) but even still usb host is a bonus and not a 
requirement for my project.
