Re: Help - I need a design for a 6 volt, 700 mAmp dc power supply

I want to build a sturdy, portable dc power supply to plug into my MP3

Since I'm just now learning basic electronics I would rather build a 6
volt, 700 mAmp power supply powered off of one or more rechargeable
batteries than wait until I know enough to repair the mp3 player (if
ever).

Any pointers/designs anyone wants to share?

Thanks.

Hi, JC. If you can take apart the mp3 player, you should be able to
replace the internal battery. It's very likely that's where your
basic problem lies. But most small mp3 players are meant to be
disposable, so getting it apart and successfully putting it back
together might be really tough.

Given that, a quick fix might be to put five "C" or "D" size Ni-Cad
batteries in series to give you your portable 6VDC (5 X 1.2V ea.).
That should keep you rolling.

Good luck
Chris
