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.

    I look at my Sony Walkman Bean (now defunct, sure); it plugs into the USB port and recharges itself. Built in rechargeable battery.

    How about a cell phone that has MP3 support with a camera?

    Someone should patent that idea! :-)
