Hello,
I have been trying to use the LiPo Battery Charger/Booster from Spark fun (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10300) along with a 3.7v LiPo Battery (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8484) . Theoretically, since the charger/booster outputs 5v, i should be able to charge an iphone with it. however, even when everything is fully charged, nothing happens on the iphone end. setup is pretty simple: battery to charger, charger to usb cable to iphone on 5V out pin. and yes i do read 5v on the usb cable, so there actually is voltage going to the phone. so what is the problem here? why wont the charger charge the phone?
Thanks
