I would like to know how to add a 2nd USB charging port to a Lenovo YogaBook with only one USB 2.0 port used for both data and charging?

I would like to charge a Lenovo YogaBook laptop while using the data port. This isn't supported by the laptop unless I am wrong. I have followed some tutorials which supposed to work but it didn't. I have tried adding a USB connection which does charge but the batteries get too warm and Windows doesn't show it is charging at all. I am afraid to rely on this strategy. This is my first attempt at modifying hardware so I know I have bypassed some important steps. I would appreciate any direction offered.
