USB AA Rechargeable Batteries

These USB AA rechargeable batteries have been around for a while now, I’ve not really looked into these before, however I’m now starting to run out of batteries for my various devices and remote controls. So instead of just buying a load more standard AA rechargeable batteries I thought I’d take a look at these to see how they compare.

The USB batteries are pretty useful as rechargeable batteries go – AA batteries that you can flip the top off (positive terminal end) to then reveal a standard USB connector that can be plugged into one of your computer’s USB ports and be re-charged from your computer of choice, be it your desktop or laptop (useful if you’re on the move), plus you could even plug them into your Xbox 360!

A standard charge for these USB batteries will take around 5 hours, but you’ll know when they’re fully charged thanks to the built-in LED that shows the charge status.

I’m not quite sure how environmentally friendly these USB batteries will be, but I’d imagine not having to carry around a specially produced separate charging device means less energy and resources go into these in the long run? Perhaps they’re even better for the environment than standard rechargeable batteries.

Have you got some of these USB AA rechargeable batteries already? What do you think to them? Should I get some to add to my gadget bag?
