Charge your smartphone with batteries - this is how you connect your mobile phone
Charging your smartphone with batteries is not particularly efficient - but it is possible in an emergency. We show you how this works safely and without a lot of tinkering.
Warning: handicraft instructions from the web
If you are looking for battery chargers for smartphones, you will always come across handicraft instructions: With wire, a battery and the contacts on the cell phone, you could supposedly easily charge your cell phone. However, extreme caution is required here: Inexperienced laypersons can quickly injure themselves in such experiments. Such quite dangerous instructions are only intended for experienced electricians. You may also lose the warranty.
Charging your cell phone with battery safely - with this gadget it works
On the other hand, something simple and much less dangerous works with a little tool:
- The Emergency Charger (approx. 8 euros) is operated with an AA battery. Adapters for the most common cell phone connections, from iPhone to mini USB, are included.
- Simply insert an AA battery into the charger and connect it to your cell phone.
- But caution also applies here: Manufacturers and customers do not recommend charging newer smartphones with the help of battery chargers. The mobile charger should still supply a few percent to older mobile phones.
- Better: To charge mobile devices efficiently when traveling, portable mini batteries are worthwhile. We present three good power packs here.
Tip: On some computers you can even charge your smartphone when the PC is switched off. All information can be found in this article.
