Project description
This circuit can power/charge a USB device with a suitable solar panel or other suitable 7-12V in power supply.
But unfortunately I have had little success in powering/charging USB devices using only the rechargeable NiMH battery pack as it does not supply the required amperage out to actually charge a USB device (the USB device might say its charging but is actually not).
Needs a more suitable USB out circuit such as a Mintyboost kit to replace the basic Ziner Diode voltage regulator.
