This is part 1 of my attempt at a solar powered mobile phone charger. In truth it is more of a battery backup option rather than a true charger. As you will see in this first section the battery pack I am using only claims to be a backup supply and in testing it only manages to boost the flat mobile battery to about 30% but if you are desperate for power that may be enough. In part 2 I will look at providing solar cells to recharge the rechargeable batteries. I think this is an interesting project although I do not think this is the best option. However now that I have started this I will finish it so people can see what I have done even if it is not very good. I see plenty more related videos are appearing on the right of my screen now so you should have plenty of others to watch. One big problem with this set up is there is no protection for over charging.

OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
