Recharge AA battery on USB !

I just love this technology. Combine the biggest headache in power, ie running out of batteries and combine it with the simplest form of charging and bingo, you have a USBCell !!!


Released as a teaser to the IT press over a week ago with the tagline ‘Time to recharge the battery market’, the details are finally out and they are oh so logical yet very cool.

Produced by Moixa Energy, USBCELL batteries are simply batteries that recharge from any USB port. They require no separate recharging devices, cradles or cables and can be used exactly like a normal battery. The design itself is rather like a typical memory stick with its flip top lid and they could be set to deliver the same killer blow to the battery market that memory sticks did to floppy discs.

  • Battery Chemistry
  • NiMH - Nickel Metal Hyrdride
  • Technical Specifications
  • 90%+ Charged after 5 Hours by powered USB
  • Also rechargeable by approved NiMH charger at 250ma for 7 Hours

Amazing use of the mind, is it not ?
