At 6:25, how low current are we talking about? for LDO's low current and low Vin -> Vout ratio? can you quote some numbers?

One question. When you use the power path control charger to run the system from the battery, what will the charger do at that time? Does it keep charging, meaning the battery is charging and discharging at the same time or does it stops charging?
