Catching The Worm

 

It's nearly Christmas which means spending days buying presents, hours making sure they are wrapped up gift tagged, and spoiling the surprise in minutes by forgetting to buy the batteries. It happens every year doesn't it ?

 

The Moixa energy USBcell is a great little gadget that puts a twist on the rechargeable battery.

 

This NiMH AA cell can be used like a normal battery but is recharged simply by plugging into a powered USB port on a USB hub, PC, or Laptop. No need for a charger or extra cables.

 

The AA cells can be used with a converter to create C and D size batteries.

 

USBcell has also designed an AAA battery with an instant fold-out USB connector, and mini-USB connector for extra convenience.  The range is set to grow to include a battery cell for phones and game devices.

The Moixa energy web site state the products can be found at Currys, Dixons and PC World. We were unable to find them at the time of writing but keep checking as they may arrive soon.
