Does this really work and if so, does the battery give it a full charge? What it's the switch for? The little LED light showing isn't part of the instructions or is that part of the switch. Why not solder instead of hot glue?

Yes it does for 1 and 2.
To turn it on.
light is part of the circuit board from the car to usb

Nice idea. It may work more reliably with different types of phones if you powered the device from 12V though. The do sell small 12V batteries, such as the A23 battery, and a few in parallel might work. Just a thought. Great original idea though.

My Son had a Broken LCD Watch this project looks ideal for "something to do" with it. I'll keep you posted and credit it you with thd idea..

um, but wont it might break the device depending on the amount of volts each type of phone needs? To charge iphones, I think you need a bunch of 9 volt batteries. Great idea though

Very nice. I may try this when I get home. Consider finding a way to case this, because it looks ugly to just carry around.
