Charging Cell phone form a 9V battery
hamster_nz:
Might be worthy of discussion... (but not really).
james_s:
I mean obviously it would work, but it's a very expensive way to get a partial charge into a phone. Maybe if you're stranded somewhere with a mobile phone, car charger and a pile of 9V batteries?
MosherIV:
If you look at the capacity of a 9v battery and the capacity of the battery in the phone, you woul realise that the 9v battery would give less tha a few % to the phone.
tooki:
And that’s before the losses incurred in the car lighter plug, many of which use a linear regulator to burn off the excess voltage as heat! |O
Twoflower:
The picture says in case of Emergency. I think it might be possible to charge the phone from dead-as-doornail to able to call a rescue team. Other than that: I totally agree not very useful.
