Yeah I agree, but there is a catch, Raspberry is temporary solution, as it will be replaced with jetson agx thor, and this is the reason iäI must use the usb-c. Different power sourcer would be easy solution, but it will not teach me anything, and this is the reason I'm aiming at one powrr source for everything
Thor is a 130W system. Totally different requirements. Pi needs 5V@5A, Thor needs at least 20V@5A, which only gets you 100W. This excludes Thor's higher Power States. You really should use the Molex Microfit connector on the Thor carrier, which will accept 9-28V. Choose your operating voltage as high as possible within these limits - 6S (6 LiIon or LiPo cells in series) in order to minimize current.

For your Pi the easiest thing is just getting a USB-C power bank off Amazon/ebay/... You will not be able to produce something better for the same price.

For Thor look out for 24V batteries or 6S LiIon packs and don't use USB-C there for power input.
Thanks! That was valuable. For Thor I was thinking about 9-11S battery with stabilizer and step down PCB, that should make the system more stable thinking of servos that will create a lot of noise and will be powered from same battery pack. Does this sound stupid?
