USB Batteries

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the novelty-items dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Tired of paying for new batteries all the time? Tired of searching for the charger for your rechargeable batteries? Worry not, because these new AA batteries will recharge direct from your USB port! This is such a cool idea, that I cant believe that no one has done it before." At $24 each I would hate to lose or break them on a regular basis.

    Well sure, for AA it's pointless. But what if you could charge a laptop battery with it? With two of them you could charge the main battery and the spare and never run dry!

    Do you understand the power and current it takes to charge a laptop battery?

    That sound you hear is the joke whooshing over your head. The Simpsons quote should've been a major tipoff.
