Looks good to me.
Yes, the neutral (N) should go to the wider blade on a polarized plug. If the plug can be oriented either way (non-polarized) don't worry about it because there should not be anything grounded.
I would not use it in countries that use 240v like AU and UK. (could exceed rating) Also know the charge rate will vary a bit because they run 50hz instead of 60hz.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL while experimenting with this or any live circuit. Be sure to use a durable insulation such as shrink tube to cover exposed conductors. I would not trust electrical tape because heat can cause it to unravel or slide off.
Thanks ChrisBlueNZ for comming up with this circuit.
