I say "final" because there are still many changes and improvements I would make if I had more time/money. Some improvements would include general aesthetic changes, more features, and greater durability:
- Water-proof case
- Built in access to existing status LEDs
- Incorporation of existing power switch to control bright LED for use as an emergency flashlight
- Smaller overall dimensions
- More rugged solar panel (though the panels are designed to be expendable and upgradeable)
- Cleaned-up design: fixing etching mistakes, increasing raster area visibility, tightening press fit parts
For now, the Universal Solar Battery works like a charm, charging my phone and tons of other USB devices without a hitch.
