Clients have to accept 4.75 to 5.25V and must be able to send configuration data as low as 4.4V. Hubs are allowed to drop as much as 0.35V.

By itself, a USB plug does not have to supply more than 100mA; however up to 500mA can be negotiated between device and host. Some USB hosts simply offer up 500mA from the get-go.

USB power supplies short the two data lines (white and green) which allows the device to probe for the fact that they're power supplies (i.e. that they provide the full 500mA without negotiation and that they won't respond to data).

Is there any way to control the voltage output on usb?

The output voltage available at a USB port is controlled by the regulator in the computers power supply. It is fixed, you can not change or control it. The maximum current which should be drawn from a USB2 port is 500mA, from a USB3 port it can (I believe) be up to 850mA.


If you connected a battery to a usb cord with some wire and connected that to another device would it charge?

depends on the voltage of the battery being used. USB voltage is 5 volts DC. If you use a car battery, which is generally 12 volts, I would think your device would not like this. But to answer your question. Yes, it will charge. But not properly if you do not use the correct voltage.


What voltage does my laptop usb provide to charge your phone?

Most USBs on laptops are 5v +/- 10%. You should not worry about charging your phone through the USB. As a matter of fact, in most cases if a phone is getting an incorrect voltage or too many amps, it will display a warning and just stop the charging.

Not without slicing open the microphone itself and doing some soldering. A USB microphone talks to the computer via a digital USB port, whereas a microphone designed to connect to a 3.5mm jack will produce an analog voltage.
