Introduction: How to Make a Portable Charger

This project will be a handmade portable charger that will be able to charge any USB device. This will be useful for me when I need to charge my phone and I am not near an outlet. I will connect one 9V battery it to the USB outlet with clips and wires so that the phone will be charged by the battery. Will be able to recycle batteries when they die so the device will last a long time. I also crafted a circuit with a switch so the battery will have a turn on switch and the battery will not die as fast. This is very handy because instead of having to connect the clips to the wire every time I use it and disconnect them when I am done, I can just flip a switch on the outside.

After this circuit is assembled, you can put it in a small box so the wires are together and the project looks neat https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-po...
