(as cross-answered on the pickit develop list)

It has an USB mini B socket. Take a standard USB-A to mini-B cable, cut
it, and connect the power. IIEC I have seen power-only USB hubs which
could be used without cutting the cable. Or make something like that,
but battery powered (I bet that exists, somewhere).
