Pre-Purchase Questions for N3DSXL/LL Capture Cards

I just had a couple of questions that I was wondering if anyone here might be able to answer for me.
The first and main question is, does this card installation effect the thickness of the console like the OG 3DS cards do?
The second question that came to mind was if the newer USB-C capture card allows for charging of the N3DS as well as capture out. If it can, are there any safety precautions that I should take with this feature?
Thank you to any and all who assist with these questions!

It doesn't affect the thickness, and it does allow for charging through the same USB-C port

There are no precautions I should take if I were to just use this for charging right? Just the normal stuff like buy reputable wall bricks and power banks?

Yep, charge it as you would any other USB-C device
