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.

    Hmm.. $20 for a way to drain my laptop faster? If I have power to waste, I'm usually close enough to an outlet to use a cheaper rechargeable battery... has there been a clamor for USB powered power devices that I wasn't aware of? Short of recharging my iPod, most of my USB needs are computer peripherals. I think you can file this with the Java enabled toaster.
