    Good use of brain power.

    Someone had their thinking cap on for this.
    Rechargeable USB batteries.

    Clever but at $9 a cell certainly not economical.

      Great for a niche market, these things have lower MAh and the same lifespan as a regular NiMH cell.

      This is a great idea, but portions of it are a little ahead of the chemistry of these things

        They also don't say how long it takes to fully charge. My Palm that charges in less than 2 hours with the wall charger takes 3 days to charge on the USB cable.

          Clever idea but I have a number of rechargeable batteries and a small charger that works most anywhere in the world. Better than single use batteries and they seem to last longer in my digital camera.
