Take a look at this instructional video and learn how to create a pocket USB battery. Materials you will need for this process are one 5.1v zener diode, one 330-ohm resistor, a 9v battery connector, a 9v battery, a solder, and soldering iron.

so through this can any device that works through a usb port (like a usb cooling fan) still work
yes
how long can a 9v battery power a usb powered device such as an iPod?
Thanks for this How-to! But I really have trouble understanding you under this slightly too loud music. (I am also not a native English speaker.)
Would you write down how to connect the parts?
Thanks!
So i saw this and i am wondering. If i have and old cellphone battery to which i attached a cable to the positive and a cable to the negative could i use it for this too instead of a 9V? And if so could i atache another port so i can recharge this battery? Thanks.
