Take apart your USB car charger, unscrew the 2 screws then take out the USB charger itself.

Connect Positive and Negative Wires...

Connect positive and negative wires, positive is the spring, negative is one of the 2 bendable parts. The wire I used 22 Gage wire. Cut the wire so the copper/ metal can twist around the positive and negative parts. Electrical tape the wires.

Connect to Battery

Connect the positive and negative wires to the battery (make sure the positive and negative wires are on the positive and negative of the battery). To make it easier buy a 9V battery connector to connect the 9V battery to the wire. (As shown in the second picture of this step).

Cut Altoids Tin
