Ok, well this is more of a request for help from the modding community. I will give what I know about this item, I know I can mod it, but I have only done electronics work with double A batteries and 9volts, im kinda confused on all the 3.7v batteries everyone uses.
first the pictures of what I wanna mod.
its called "turbo charger" I dont remember who makes it, it was one of those from when I worked at office depot, we sold the little cell phone chargers that you stick 2 double a batteries in and it came with like 6 adapters for different phones.
3 led's to indicate charge left on batteries. Not sure if I could keep the board that is in there controlling these or if the 3.7V batteries might fry this? If I can this would be a nice neat feature.
Another feature tied into the internal circuit board that would be nice to keep, an led flash light.
This is the current connector, similar to a 3.5 mm jack.
So my questions are, the 14500 battery is 3.7 and fits in a AA spot correct? if this is true, then I could possibly get this going with minimal modding if the batteries wont fry the circuit board..
I would need to jump across the second battery holder so that it only requires one battery to complete the circuit. Then I was just thinking, I still have some of the connectors here that plug into this, maybe I could cut those up, and wire them directly to my dead battery connector... If that worked, it would be a completely modular solution. Make up one like this for each atty type I wanna use, and just plug them in like a set of headphones.
I forgot to mention, the switch that is built into this is an on off 3-way slider switch. Down turns on the charge port, middle is off, and up turns on led flashlight.
edit: I took one of my battery connectors that had died and put some wires on it, tossed some double a's in this thing, and touched the wires down to the connector in the correct spots, didnt work
it actually made the all 3 lights go out like it was out of juice, maybe just cause they were double A's. I was just messin around since I dont have any of the 3.7 V batteries here to try.
