As many of you know, I am into modding gadgets and accessories at every chance I get. And right up my alley there is a site that I found via engadget called Hack a Day! The "hack" that caught my eye was how to make a USB battery using a normal 9 V alkaline battery. This could be used to charge your Pocket PC if you have a USB cable. Not to mention, if you do it right, the entire charger would be very small compared to the four AA battery chargers that are already on the market 'found out yesterday that there’s a shuffle shortage and gadget battery life can only be expected to get worse. bummer. at least you can make the most of your waiting-for-shuffle blues and solder yourself a ‘usb battery’. this little gizmo runs off a 9 volt battery and supplies your favorite little device with the proper 5 volts of mobile power.
in lieu of running an ipod off of it, i tested it with an mpx220 smartphone and it should work fine with any low power mobile device that can charge via usb cable. read more for instructions on how to make your own.'
