Intro: How to make a cheap solar usb charger
In this instructable I am going to show you how to make a solar usb charger from old garden lights
With that charger you can charge every device that uses the usb port to charge like : (mp3 player, iphone,psp's etc.)
(In my solar charger i put some led's to be able to use it as a torch)
Image Notes Image Notes

1. button is to turn on and off the led's 1. a push button swich to change between chargeng the batterys from the solar
sell's and charging the usb port from the batterys
2. two solar panels from old garden lights . each solar panel put's out about 2.5v
and 50mha
Image Notes
1. usb port for charging devices
Step 1: What you will neeed

1) two solar panels from garden lights
2) 4AA rechargable baterys
3) 4AA baterry holder
4) one female usb connector
5) a small button
6) a case
7) some wires
8) three 3.6v led's
9) two 1n5817
10) one dpdy 6 pin push switch
11) one 150 ohm resistor
Step 2: Taking the solar garden lights apart
Open the solar light and take the solar panel out of the light
Inside there is a small circuit where you can take the two diodes and also some leds
(the battery that come with the light will be about 800mha. we don'd need that low capacity.The capacity that we need from each baterry has to be about 2000mha)
Step 3: Diagram
Now you need to heat up your soldering iron and wire every thing as seen the diagram so be carefull and make sure that all the connections are covered with electrical
tape

1. diagram without the leds 1. diagram with leds
2. solar panels 2. solar panels
3. blocking diode 3. blocking diode
4. female usb connector 4. blocking diode
5. batterys 5. batterys
6. dpdy 6 pin push switch 6. dpdy 6 pin push switch
7. blocking diode 7. female usb connectror
8. a swich
9. three leds in series
10. 150 ohm resistor
Step 4: Some photos

IF ANYONE HAVE A QUESTION PLEASE CCOMMENT

1. my mobile phone is charging!!! 1. leds
2. blocking diode
3. led's swich
4. 4AA rechargable baterys each one 1.2v 2000mha
5. usb connector
6. led's switch
7. blocking diode
1. a better look at the blocking diode 1. female usb connector

1. solar panels 1. back view of the solar panels
2. bridge from positive to negetive
3. positive
4. nagetive

1. case with the lib open 1. the led flash light
