2Nd Mod... Diy Usb Pt

[LarryD]

So I had a 808 batt short out on me the other day, being down to one functioning batt not so good. I grabbed the old soldering iron, and old usb cable and an empty pill bottle and threw it all together. Had to use a mini toggle for now, now momentary switches layin around. Unloaded it's puttin out about 4.7v on my old iBook, and 5.2v on my wife's new HP. Not sure what the loaded volts are but on the Mac I'm not gettin much vapor, but on the HP I've got clouds of vapor comin out of this thing! YaY!

thats cool. My first passthrough had a toggle switch in it also. lol. thats great. i did it cause they are very reliable and its never been done. lol. now ive got one with some other switch. be carefull. because i was in a hurry once and accidentally left the switch on! and it got really hot and messed it up. but yah just a warning.
