wooden handmade dock
I tinkered a wooden charging dock. Therefore i bought pogo pins, a DC power supply. Pieces of wood, glue, solder and needed tools I found in my father's garage
.
I decided to take:
a 5V/DC power supply with a current of 2000mA and 10W ~10€
Pogo pins: F70211B130G015 by German brand Feinmetall ~ 4€ pair
The pogo pins have a low spring force of 15cN. If I remember physic lessens well and my considerations are true you shouldn't go with much higher spring force. I soldered them on a piece of circuit board and fixed it at the frame. It works great and charges fast as you would aspect with 2A.
It's not that devastating to interchange the polarity - the phone reboots.

I'm sorry I don't have the paper with dimensions, I forgot it at my parents place. But it's easy, you've got a xperia V and you can measure it with a caliper gauge. The design depends on your preferences and the available pieces of wood.
Feel free to create your own!
Try to build the dock by enclosing the phone step by step. Thats the way i did it.

Thanks for the pogo pin tip.
I've ordered a smiliar pair

I'll mount these in a piece of wood so the higher spring force should'nt be a problem, then I though I'd wire them up to a female micro usb port so I can use the standard sony charger.

xperia v diy dock charger
you will need the following:
1 usb to micro cable (if its used, its better for you will not be disappointed if you modify it
1 universal battery dock charger (choose a pin type, its the best)
case of xperia v preferrably plastic (this will be the holder)
glue gun
candle and small screw (for pinching purposes)
steps:
first the charger
the red wire is the positive i think..it will be connected to the top hole copper of xperia v.. and the black is the negative it will be at the bottom.. the other wires..just forget it.. if its wrong the phone will shutdown (its okay.. my phone dies many times as i perfect the connection but its working fine)
try the connections before you proceed to the next step
second cut the case top portion to be able to fit the phone with the jellycase or any other case you use
third.. attached the charger with the case as i did with the picture...with glue gun to cover all wires exposed
then connect the charger to your original sony charger..
finish

Hi, thanks for the info. I just want to clarify before I start doing mine. So basically, it is just normal wall charger with usb cable connected to the exposed power pin at the side of the phone?
Bought my XV on the first of June. Unboxed my XV and walah!! There was the dock. The XV has been available down here in South Africa, I think from Q1-Q2 2013 and they all come with the dock

Yeah, 50 USD is too much. But the dock is quite handy especially for late night's after clubbing
. It's a pain in the ass having to open the flaps to insert the micro-usb to charge. I even set it to automatically connect to my Bluetooth speakers and the party continuesSent from my LT25i using xda app-developers app

3I too made my own DIY charging dock.
Since DK25 dock is too expensive ( about 55 $ in Ebay ) i thought to build one on my own
So i bought these two from Ebay
the DK26 replacement dock ( about 8 $ )
And plastic hard case cover ( about 2 $ )
I dissembled the Dk26 replacement dock and took out the circuit and attached that to the hard case using super glue.
So here's the out come
And it does charge the phone :laugh::laugh::good::good:
And here is a screenshot
I would like to thank all the members who have posted guides on making DIY charging dock in this thread. It's you that inspired me to build mine,
This whole process must have costed me about 11 $ ( i have saved 40+ $ ) But the most important thing is the fun i had during the process and the satisfaction after seeing it work is priceless3A nice way to make a dock for Xperia V
I am happy that I found this thread because I wanted to share my easy solution.
Personally I find the price of the original dock DK25 unreasonably high!
So I found the same cheap dock for Xperia Z (couldn't post the link here since it's my first post)
It has a removable plastic plate for allowing docking a Xperia Z with a case.
Removing this plate makes the thickness proper for the Xperia V.
Moreover the side position of the phone matches exactly the pin positions on the dock (and with the correct polarity).
So basically the only necessary modification takes less than a minute.
it's the removal of two small plastic pieces which are designed for a tighter fit in the case of Z but push the V out of the dock.
These can be removed easily by pushing them down/inside the dock using a screwdriver.
BTW I already have two of them - one for home and the other attached to the cup holder in my car allowing me to use it for navigation.11Look at this Guys!
