Recommend a AA battery USB power supply?

[zer037]

Hi all,

Just wondering anybody could recommend a "AA Battery Powered" External USB power supply for UNI?

I seen some people use a mint box and 4 AA batteries to make a USB power supply, but I figured I might just buy a existing product.

Or does anyone has better solutions for power supply when you are away from computer or a A/C wall?

Thanks!!!

Hey Orb,

I have one of those and I centainly like the colorful flashing when it charges :P

However, I think u misunderstood what I meant, I was look for a changer that takes AA batteries, then convert the AA battery power into USB current to charge the phone.

I seen this Mint Box project, it's DIY, you only buy the parts....not sure about, I'm more leaning towards something a little more pro made i guess. plus the price is not a huge gap :p

Yeah but it looks fun:D

I've got an energiser one I bought for a few quid. Takes 2 AA batteries and then has an adaptor that plugs in to convert to mini-usb.

Unfortunately shop brought, but I certainly wouldn't spend mega bucks on something similar!
