Hello everybody, I am trying to build a USB battery charger for my iPOD shuffle. Can anybody give me a hint? I will greatly appreciate your help.
 

Re: USB battery charger.

This should get you started.

You will also have to determine the characteristics of the battery
and maybe the charging profile.

Best regards,

USB battery charger.

hi all,

is it possibble to charge the ipod/other mp3 players, by simply putting external 5v dc with a current limiting resistor in series.....of the player's usb port and leaving the data pins unconnected??

i asking because...charging the battery via pc's usb port may not be possible on occasions....so a standanole charger turns quite useful!!!

thanks

yes its possible but u have to use such an adopter that u r not using any resistance in series and it is supplying only required amount of current.

but if u cant find such an adopter, u have to select such a resistance that is not blocking all the current or max current. bcz mp3players have too low resistance for inputs so an AC2DC adopter with 200mA or something same would b used
