I would like to make a solar powered ipod charger using a solar panel connected to a battery, which then powers a USB port.
Can anyone tell me the basic circuitry involved?
If you manage this then please leave feedback on your chosen best answer, this is a great creation.

Im working on making a solar iPod charger and need to know how many calculators to dismantle to make five volts for the USB charger.
my guess would be 2-3 volts. Use a voltmeter, measure it.

Solar panel : 0.4W
# Ac input: AC100V-240V
# Output Voltage 5.5V DC
# Convert efficiency: over 18%
# Max output current: DC 500mA
# High capacity build in polymer battery: 2600mAh
Sorry, no.
An iPod Touch needs 500 mA of charging current, even a 300 mA charger won't work (I tried it myself, it doesn't).
Assuming you could actually get 0.4 W out of that panel at 5 volts, that's only 80 mA of...
I'm making a USB charger and since I want to also with my iPod I want to make sure that if I buy 5 volt solar panels and wire them in parallel that they won't achieve greater than 5 volts which would fry my iPod.
