MintyBoost Simple USB Charger
News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - June 01, 2006



Is your iPod constantly running out of juice? Did you know that you can make your own iPod battery-pack and recharger? Check out the MintyBoost - a small, simple USB charger for your iPod or other mp3 player, camera, cell phone, etc.

You can read instructions on how to create one of these for yourself at instructables.com, or you can purchase a pack from the link below.

"The charger circuitry and 2 AA batteries fit into an Altoids gum tin, and will run your iPod for hours, 2.5x more than you'd get from a 9V USB charger! You can use rechargable batteries too.

This project is suitable for beginners, some soldering tools are necessary but even if you've never soldered before it should be pretty easy."
