Hey now, the electronics of the sit/stand controller are safely housed in a little cardboard box (that the BoB came in). The breakout board sticking out is labeled "FPC-10P 0.5MM", and I only need 3 of the 10 pins. The others are unused by the controller.

Also, at your point, couldn't one bodge something together with a little charging circuit or "variety pack of M/F connectors on wires" from Sparkfun? If you're willing to cut away some material, you could build your own special charging port, so that the loose wires end up outside of the device.
