I originally made my altoids usb charger to use with my iphone only.
How to make a solar panel charger for ipod.
Simply connect the red usb cable wire to the 5v positive output from the lm317t and the black usb cable wire to the ground negative.
Unplug the solar cell and use the velcro to secure the mightymintyboost inside a backpack or messenger bag now plug in a larger solar cell attached to your bag for even faster charging.
Even if it sucks juice faster than a 1st grader at snack time and i often find myself on low power with a long train ride ahead of me.
Using a slightly larger solar cell 6v 250mah you can generate enough power to fully charge an iphone in about 5 5 hours and an ipod touch in 4 hours.
Now feast your eyes on mightymintyboost a rechargeable solar powered mintyboost charger.
We ve already shown you mintyboost a battery powered usb charger built from an altoids tin.
I love my iphone 4 to death.
