What Voltage Do You Need?


1- Find the voltage you need by looking at you cell phone wall charger sticker
2- Mine was around 5 V so I bought a 5 V step up regulator
3- Connect the battery box to the voltage regulator using this schema http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Components/LM7805.pdf
red is input , black is ground,
the output is what you want to connect to your cell phone cable.
