The MintyBoost reigns high as one of the most popular, recognizable DIY projects of all time, allowing you to turn an Altoids tin into a compact power source for your iPhone or iPod. Since the origination of this project, however, Apple changed how their devices charge and caused third-party chargers to work less-efficiently. Now there's an upgrade.
The exterior design hasn't changed: your MintyBoost still fits nicely in an Altoids tin, but MAKE notes that things are a little different on the inside:
The secret is in the high-efficiency power conversion circuit; it's up to 83% effective, so from your two AA batteries you get 2.5 times more power than you'd get from a 9V battery!
If your MintyBoost's busy collecting dust or you've never tackled this project before, now's the time to make your own backup power for your iDevice.
