Im completely new to this so please bare with me, as I'm trying very hard to understand electronics!

Basically i need to know how i could use the power from a 30-pin adopter and transfer it into another 30-pin adopter.

Sorry i'm not very good at explaining this! Basically i need a charger cable; 30pin to 30pin. Not sure how to accomplish it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

OK, It's strange, and I don't know you really well, but I've stripped off and I'm now posting naked...

I think we need to:

1) get our clothes back on again
2) You tell me what these 30 pin adapters are for.

What are you charging and from what?

The older iphones have pin 18 carrying +3.3V which apparently can also be +5V in certain circumstances. You'd have to determine if this could source enough power to be useful and you'd probably have to use a DC-DC converter to step up the voltage to 5V.

I'm not sure it would be very efficient.
