How to connect a 5-pin switch to a battery pack?

I am building a bluetooth speaker system and would need some help with the wiring. Hopefully my problem is an easy one, but electric systems are not my cup of tea (actually failed electric physics -course in high school...)

Here is a picture of the hardware: http://ift.tt/1Tn3oxi

And a closer one of the switch: http://ift.tt/1NdSj5g

I also have a wiring picture for the switch: http://ift.tt/1Tn3oxk

There is a cable for powering an amplifier and recharging the battery pack (12V 10000mAh lithium-ion). Switch has 5 pins and includes a led light.

Can someone tell me how to do the wiring so that 1) I can recharge the battery when power is on or off 2) Led light in the switch is on only when power is on

Thank you for your help!

Help with floor repair in a rental.

I've messed up. I had a puppy and didn't catch where his secret peeing spot was. When I was moving some furniture I found it and there was damage to the floor. I'm scared to tell my landlord because I haven't been the best rental (training a puppy not to bark and make noise) That I'm afraid that since I'm on a month to month lease I'll be evicted right away. I want to try and fix it without making it worse. I know at this point fixing it to original condition probably won't work.

Here's a picture of the damage..

I've tried hydrogen peroxide. I'm thinking I should sand off the old varnish to get to the stain. Then put some wood bleach on it. Then varnish it back up. However before I did that I wanted to find some advice. Also how do I match this type of varnish?

Wireless Charging coil

Hi, I wanted to ask around if someone knows a good manufacturer of wireless charging coils that support quick charging (10W output). I am planning on doing a little project and building a charger in my desk so i can just lay my phone down, but I just can not find a charging coil that i could easily use (without buying and extracting the coil from another charger. So does anyone has an idea where I can find one of these? Greetings

Need help making a hillbilly hot tub!

Hello all! It's my first time posting here after lurking for years.

Basically I'm going to put a steel trash can into a swimming pool and light a fire in it, and need some help making it waterproof!

My first test was with exhaust sealant paste around the seams, this worked well until the paste got wet and disintegrated (I only applied it to the outside though) so I was thinking about adding a layer to the inside which would (should?) have a 2-fold benefit: the heat from the fire would keep the paste hard and waterproof, and the external outer pressure once it's partially submerged should do the rest.

Obviously my first choice would be to weld the seams shut myself but I don't have access to a welding tool as I am on a zero budget.

Any ideas?

Is it ok, to mount a bunk bed just at the walls?

I want to build something like this: http://ift.tt/24eDM0W

My room is about the same width. I just have concerns on damaging the building because of the induced force on the walls. Maybe I just watched too many "construction side fails" videos on youtube. :)

I live in the ground floor of a 100 year old brick building in Europe, and the wall is at least 30 centimeters wide.
