Screw it back together and you're done! Simple, eh? Now you can connect any solar panel with a quick connect, choose the correct voltage and start charging! You can add whatever kind of ends you want now, USB, one for your DS or PSP, whatever! Here's some of the other ones that I have made. I added two quick connects to one so I can use teo panels at a time. You can also see that I've added AA battery holders. I leave, one in my car and charge up 2 AA's in about a day or my cell phone in a couple of hours. They're very handy tools to have. Just one bit of advice, make sure not to overcharge anything. While some electronics have built-in regulators to prevent overcharging, not all of them do. Most things should be okay to leave for a day or two. Just be sure to keep an eye on the state of charge.

Good find with that car jack charger, I wonder how easy those are to come by.
