USB Rechargeable Batteries

UK energy company, Moixa Energy, have just released a new type of rechargeable battery that requires nothing more than a standard USB port to refill.

The NiMH batteries are currently available in AA size and can be purchased via the Moxia website for a mere £12.99 a pair. Details on performance are sketchy, but the new battery certainly looks to be full of potential. The battery itself appears to be a normal AA size. Re-charging is achieved by flippy the postive terminal off to reveal a USB connector, and inserting it into a bog standard USB port.

Each battery runs at the standard 1.2v (1300mah) and a dead to 90%+ charge will take you approximately 5 hours.
