Cells With USB Connector

Fed up of carrying rechargeable AA batteries and their chunky charger? Well, UK’s Moxia Energy has a solution. Their latest USB cells, which look and work like normal AA batteries, hide a little USB connector under the lid. So the next time you are running out of juice, all you have to do is pop this baby into a USB port and recharge. Then again, with the number of USB ports available around the place, chances are you will never run out of a recharge point. Unfortunately, these babies don’t do data and are currently available only in AA format. The company plans to launch a full range of standard formats, including phone and camera batteries, in the near future.
