USBCell

Posted on March 6, 2008 Under Eco

When Energizer came out with the Energi To Go — the battery operated chargers that can perk up your cell or iPod “on the go” — mobile tech geeks found it a fair solution to their energy crisis. But, the biggest problem with the device: it takes alkaline batteries. Good for Energizer’s profit margins, bad for Mother Earth. Which is why the USBCell is pretty brilliant. Tip back the positive terminal and you have yourself a little USB jack. If only our laptop ran on these AAs (and the Law of Conservation didn’t exist), you’d have an infinite loop of laptop power. Did we just blow your mind?
