USB Rechargeable AA batteries

Green Batteries?

Every year 15 billion Alkaline batteries ( enough for a column of batteries to go to the moon and back) are made and thrown away. Enter USB Cell – USBCell is a AA battery that can be recharged hundreds of times without cords, cables etc. According to their website;

“USBCell was recently commended for best product design of 2006 alongside the Ipod Shuffle and is now available online to 50+ countries” and “are estimated to save several KG of toxic waste and C02 emissions compared to using lots of ‘Rubbish after one use’ alkaline cells.” The USBCell works with wireless mice, folding or wireless keyboards, digital cameras, MP3 speakers, projector controllers and etc. Pretty cool.
