DIY AC-USB Charger

Steveg writes:
This little hack is so simple I’m surprised I haven’t seen someone do it before. I needed this for myself when I couldn’t get the real deal for a friend’s iPod Mini, then decided they cost too much anyway. The “real deal” has an iPod docking plug on one end of it and an AC plug-pack on the other. This is nice for plugging into an iPod, but useless for any other device.

USB Battery Pack

Builtin batteries in gadgets have some advantages: they have more power and capacity, they last longer and they are usually lighter than replaceable batteries.

Use two standard AA batteries and some electronics to power your device through an USB cable. The electonics are needed to convert the 3 Volts of input delivered by your batteries to the 5 Volts wanted by the USB specs.[more]
