Here is a good little project to re-use that old cell phone charger. You can turn it into a DIY project. You can turn it into an iPod charger. Just make sure that you are outputting 5V, or you may turn your iPod into a fryPod.
Problem:
My Mother-in-law has an Apple iPod Shuffle, but the computer doesn’t charge it. So she has to bring it over for me to charge. Not a big problem, she’s a wonderful person. But I wanted her to be able to charge her iPod and not have to wait to get it charged at my house.
Solution:
Take one of my old cell phone chargers, a Sony-Ericsson phone that I no longer use. I check the output voltage, 5.1V with 450mA. Looks good. I checked the USB specs and I believe it’s well within the acceptable range.
