5V Linear power Regulator to limit current

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLV755P, TPS7A25

Hey, i have a device that is capable of charging via usb, but its getting really hot, which also heats up the 18650 battery inside while charging.

My Question is, what could i use to make a usb cable that limits the current to maybe 500mA? I want like a linear power regulator that reduces the output voltage so it only draws 500mA.

Thanks in advance, Tia
