AA Batteries You Can Charge With USB

Amazing stuff you can do with USB huh? This handy USB AA sized, NiMH battery can be charged with your USB port, if, you actually have one free on your computer to charge it with. It will save you from carrying one more charger when you are overseas with your laptop, or when your digital camera is in need of some desperate juice which you can squeeze out of your laptop. Even the cigarette-lighter USB chargers for your car may become very useful now.

NiMH AA model will be first to hit the market (about US$24 for a two-pack), while other models like the 9V, AAA (with either a mini- or folding full-size USB attachment), C and D converter shells for the AAs, and even packs for cellphones, digital cameras, and other portable devices will be released later.
