Altoids Smalls USB Charger

I made the world's first Altoids Smalls portable USB charger that uses a 9v battery as its power source. It also has special resistors for pin 2 and 3 to fool any device into thinking that it is charging from a wall outlet. The current reaches as high as 1amp, and it lets any device charge very fast. Components used are: Altoids Smalls tin, 9v battery, 2 100ohm resistors, 5v voltage regulator, switch, electrical tape, and a few very thin wires. Enjoy.

Got all parts at radioshack,

[SmallFishBigOcean]

Sure but i dont see why you wouldn't make one yourself. Thats the fun part. And it would only cost u like 6$.

[SmallFishBigOcean]

For the circuit diagram (i assume that is what you are asking for) you can watch my second video.

[SmallFishBigOcean]

Yes it does. It will charge any of the apple devices. The resistors jump from the hot pin (5v) to pins 2 and 3 (middle ones). Ps: connect your ground to the voltage regulator ground and then to the second battery terminal.

@SmallFishBigOcean you should do a video where you build it and tell us a lot more about the voltage regulator with a lot of details. I would subscribe if you did.

9V 0_0?

[EverytinfromAtoZ]

What type of resistors did to get. Model, brand etc?

[JagerMeister5001]

@smallfishbigocean,will u sell me one please.???

[thomas809595]

I got a femail usb port out of an old computer

[shanecamendt]

Thank you very much will go to radio shack and put one to gether.

[wernerbrandon1997]

where did u get the you buy the regulator and the resistors and the female USB-port ?

[JagerMeister5001]

Can u sell me da mini charger.? ill pay u ten dollars in an itunes card

[Bomber123AL]

That's awesome haha
