Another way is to connect your cell phone to your laptop it’ll share batteries 1.take any old usb cable and cut the end that doesn’t plug into the computer
2.strip it and you should find four wires
3. find the red and black wires
4.strip those
5.now take out your cell phone battery and find where it says (+) and (-) dont worry about the (T) its a temperature sensor for charging.
6.now take the wires the red is (+) and the black is (-) and touch them to the (+) and (-) parts in the back of the phone and put in the battery so the wires are sandwiched between the phone and the battery
7. now plug in usb cable to a computer and let it charge for about 5-10 mins dont over charge it
8. you should be fine.
