Also I had an idea and wanted to know if this might work…how about a photovoltaic solar cell connected to a rechargeable nickel cadmium 9volt battery conected to it so when it’s ideling it can recharge the battery until needed?

household hacker,
Me and my brother came up with a much simpler way to do the usb battery hack with more ease and for the soldering-impaired, as we do not have a solder gun. We had some useless car chargers for cell phones laying around and decided to make use of them. Turns out they come completely soldered with resistors and an LED light so you can tell if your connection became lost. From there it’s just tape, tape, and more tape untill its on your way to awesomeness. I hope to have a vid of it soon, but i need a camera first since the old one got left in the rain.
