Default A little gadget I made..

Here's a little charger I made for my phone that runs off of 9v batteries. This is actually something Adam [apristel] invented, and posted over at MotoX. It uses a 9v battery, 5v regulator, and an end from an existing moto charger.


here's a picture:


and here it is charging my dad's V3:


and a highly technical drawing:


oh yeah and the thing most of the wires are goin into on the left is the regulator

for mine, I just used the stupid british charger that came with my RIZR. you need to use an end from an existing charger because it has a resistor in it

post any questions/comments here

Remind me to come to your house and get one for my phone. Seeing as it's a 9 Volt battery, it's gotta charge a few times. Cool man d(^_^d)

Nice. Maybe you should look into making and selling those for people for a little extra money. That business ought to go smoother than your computer making one.

Wow, what an excellent idea! Would be great to have for emergencies. Have you thought about submitting it to instructables.com?
