Could you just spadge the connection area with silicone sealant?

Waterproof usb connectors exist (like for example these ones https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/a/amphenol-ltw/usb-type-c-waterproof-connectors ) but both halves need to match and your existing equipment doesn't have them. You could maybe a) install your device in a waterproof enclosure or b) bodge it with a load of bathroom silicone.

I have a usb c powered device that I want to place outdoors, weatherproof USB c cables don't appear to be a thing, am I over thinking using a regular cable? It came with a couple of rubber bands to go on the USB connector which I guess is supposed to stop water entering the socket. It's currently running on batteries but I'm getting board of changing them frequently
