Rechargeable USB battery works in AA-ready devices
While one may assume that the above device is simply a USB flash drive in disguise, it's actually quite a bit more useful than that. You see, this rechargeable USB battery (á la the USBCELL) actually fits into any device that readily accepts AA cells, making it quite possibly the most 1337 (not to mention affordable) rechargeable cell we've ever seen. Reportedly, it takes around four hours to juice one up, and while we've no idea how many channels you can flip through on a set of these bad boys, at least they're sold in pairs. Pick up a pack (or two, or three) now for $7.51/set.[Thanks, Erie]
Moxia's USBCELL charges mobile batteries from USB ports
If you're one to actually remove the battery from your cellphone quite regularly -- do you yearn for that second backup battery to have built-in charging capability from a standard USB port? Moxia may have your answer, as its newer USBCELL battery product can charge without the need to carry along that extra charger. Yeah, we prefer to use our laptop PCs to charge or phones instead of a small, plug-in charger, which seems to be, umm, really difficult. Well, not really, unless you despise small and portable chargers (and many of them in your bag.) Now, we like the idea of many travel-friendly gadgets being able to be charged by a single USB-type charger -- but when taken just for a phone, the point of this device becomes, well, moot.
