Change a normal 9v battery into a life saver. If you have ever run out of juice on your phone and could really use a quick charge then you need a USB battery.
Facebook: list:
1 5.1v zener diode
1 330-ohm resistor
1 9v battery connector
1 9v battery
solder and soldering iron
(you can get all of this at radio shack)
Instructions:
1. Solder the Zener diode to the left and right USB connector prongs.
2. Solder the black wire of the 9v connector to the left prong and the right wire to the resistor.
3. solder the other end of the resistor to the right prong.
4. Hook up battery and go to town.

  • Dear SIr

    I am making a new USB charger.Your video is no doubt excellent,but I do not have a USB holder.I simply have the USB.Hence,I see four metal prongs coming out.Should I attach the diode to the middle two metal prong or they should be attached with the two terminal of the battery connector?Your picture given there too is unclear.Please help
    Any suggestion will be appreciated.

    You should see my video and learn how to use a single triple A battery not just to recharge your IPOD but also to power your 32" Plasma or LCD TV. You can also use it to jumpstart your car in case of emergency during its 48 month service warrant. Also wait for my non rechargable laptop battery with a 42 month lifetime service priced at an amazing price of only $11.99 which is expected to be at your local stores by June 2009

    video, easy to follow and everything was visible. Well planed out. Narration was also great. Thanks for using a tripod, made everything stable, and in view.
