Learn some simple ways to charge your cell phone even without electricity. There are many options!
Cell phones have become almost a part of us, and we can easily say that living without them is much more difficult. We always have our cell phones within reach to resolve pending issues, pay bills, stay up to date and also ask for help, if necessary.
So, in times of weather events or problems with the grid, where the power needs to be completely turned off, having your cell phone charged is ideal, right? However, if the device is discharged, what should we do at that time? Despair? Will we be without contact with people until the grid is reactivated?
Learn now some tricks to recharge your cell phone even without electricity at home!
Portable charger
The portable charger is ideal for recharging your cell phone when electricity runs out or when we are on the street, without access to electricity. There are several models on the market, with different sizes and powers, as well as entry ports, so you can find the ideal model for you.
Some devices have 10,000 mAh and are capable of charging a cell phone three times on average. It is ideal to always keep it charged so that it can be useful in times like these when there is a power outage.
9V battery
In emergencies, one option may be to use a 9-volt battery to recharge your cell phone. To do this, you will also need a USB cable, a USB car adapter, and a metal paper clip.
You need to fit the adapter to the positive pole of the battery, open the metal clip and wrap part of it around the negative pole and touch it to the metal part of the adapter. This will create the flow of energy from the battery to the cell phone. Then, simply connect the USB cable to the device.
Hand crank charger
Because it works in an environmentally friendly way, this charger does not need electrical energy to work, as it uses mechanical energy to charge devices with a USB connection.
There are several different models on the market, which vary in price and charging power. They are a valid option in cases of power outages or when traveling to more distant areas.
Solar charger
This type of charger is ideal for more adventurous users who enjoy outdoor activities, but it can also be used in cases of power outages. It has a very similar idea to the portable battery.
The main difference between the two is that the source used for this charge is sunlight. Some models also have an LED, which works as a flashlight, and the possibility of charging via electricity.
Solar case
With the same idea as the solar charger, the case combines the practicality of a cell phone cover with a wireless solar charger to keep the device charged.
This project, by a Dutch designer, has a propeller attached to a cell phone case, which has a small generator that transforms wind energy into electricity.
Computer
When the power goes out, you can use your computer to recharge your cell phone. Simply use your computer's USB port to recharge your cell phone using a cable.
Car
Your car can also be used to recharge your cell phone. To do this, simply use a USB adapter, turn the key to the first phase and charge your device without using fuel.
