Ok Guys, Welcome back to our Nairaland Online Class that teaches how to DIY (Do-It-Yourself) projects.

Its no news that the Nigerian economy is currently in recession. This coupled with the poor power supply has forced more Nigerians to have to adjust to a severe low level of living as the Pic below depicts.

Today, we want to show you how you can make a cheap 75000mAh, 14000mAh & 21000mAh Power Bank yourself to charge your normal Phones, SmartPhones, Ipad and other small devices up to atleast 6 times before the Powerbank battery would require recharge again. This means that if your SmartPhone is fully charged by the PowerBank once, and runs out after heavy use, your powerbank would still have the capacity to recharge your SmartPhone to another full charge up to 6 more times.

Interestingly, this Power Bank can be made from our everyday waste items; an old UPS.

Items required:

75000mAh Battery from a UPS

Nice one!

Most power banks will feature a number on the front that tells you the number of mAh or “milliamp-hour”.
Common sizes range from 2,000mAh up to 10,000mAh or even 26,000mAh. Bigger numbers mean more power and more recharges for your smartphone, or charging for bigger devices that need more power, like a tablet.

For 15000mAh PowerBank

3 Way Auto Car Cigarette Lighter Socket
Current Market Price N1,000 (From Road side vendors)

As a raw check test,

Let's Name
The Cigarette Lighter Socket C1
The Battery B1
The Car Charger D1

Cut C1

Place the Wire with a Mixture of White and black on the Red Tip of B1 while the other on the black of B1.
You will notice that C1's led will come on immediately,
Connect D1 to C1 and see how your SmartPhone starts charging from B1

I will show shortly how the battery can be recharged and how you can package this devise with a switch to turn off and on and a charging point
