I do not know how a desperate 6 V battery would work, I never came across one. ;-) But USB is 5.0 V nominal, not 6 V and you likely damage things if you feed it with more than 5.25 V.

Anyone know? Has anyone tried a desperate 6 v battery to feed a bunch of bare non transformer ports, like those found on the front of computer desktop boxes?

(The Admiral has an unlimited data plan and Pandora on her phone. We have a stereo that accepts MP3 aux so we use it a lot.) Anyway, I was wandering through a discount store and saw usb powered fans for cooling laptops. Curious, I googled usb fans. There are a LOT of usb powered fans out there. Look at some of these: http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Mobile-Fan-External-Cooling/dp/B00080G0BK/ref=zg_bs_3015416011_2 http://www.amazon.com/Daffodil-UFN01-Switch-Speed-Adjustable/dp/B002C3IOZG/ref=zg_bs_3015416011_12 There are several muffin style fans for those who want to install a fan in their companionway hatch boards and hook it up to their batteries via a usb port. I found a usb powered refrigerator that cools one can of soda. How about this usb powered aquarium? http://www.smarthome.com/95640/Fascinations-FISHQ1-USB-Desktop-Aquarium/p.aspx Just opening up some options for the list. :) Dennis C.
