Power off of a battery

The idea here is to use a battery as a power source for your ipods, mp3 players and other devices. All you need a car battery, a 12v power outlet with battery clips and your car adapter for your device (whichever that might be). It's a pretty simple system, but incredibly important not to mess up the positive and negative ends... it will fry your device. Once that happens, you are sunk.

  1. Attach the battery and the power outlet (Again... be attentive to the + and - ends)
  2. Attach your device's car adapter to the power outlet
  3. Attach your device to the car adapter.
If you screwed up the ends... you will know very quickly. If you hear a pop and see a spark... whoops.

Diagram to follow...
