Watch the video below to see it done.
I like the ability to do this without taking the charger apart. Without a charger, we strip off all the sleeves of a cord, attach positives and negatives, tape it, and be sure to take it off before or it overcharges. This is way better, we’ll keep that charger handy! Thank you!
