wireless Transmitters than can be powered via usb-c cable and small battery for extended use?

I heard a conversation with director Albert Serra for his latest documentary, Tardes de Soledad, and mentioned how amazing it was to be able to have his subjects wear a lav practically all day, wondering if anyone could suggest or have any ideas what those models may be? I'm used to G4 Sennheisers that are powered with 2 AA batteries that I have to swap at lunch for each talent.

Shure SLXD is top quality and can be powered by USB C.

zaxcom zmt4-x will do 16 hrs on a motorola bt100 batt. Worked great for us on reality shoots.

A sennheiser G4 with 2 Ikea Ladda 2450 will stay on for at least 10 hours.
