USBCell

Charge your batteries on the go.

The USBCell is an eco-friendly rechargable battery that simply needs plugging into any USB port. This means you can be good to the environment – not having to buy lots of new batteries – and not have to rely on a big clunky charger. Due to the number of USB ports around, you can easily charge your batteries at home, at work, or on the move. Design Week Awards 2007 - Commended Pocket-lint Gadget Awards 2007 - Winner

Pros

Good for the planet and good for your wallet, as no need to buy lots of new batteries. Also, unlike traditional rechargeable batteries that have never been very portable due to their dependency on big chargers or adpators, these are easy to charge anywhere.

Cons

They can be a little delicate. Some consumer reviews complain of the top coming off quite easily.

Energy saved

Over 15 billion batteries are needlessly thrown away each year, which is bad news for the environment. Products like USBCell stop you having to buy and throw away batteries.
