Rechargeable batteries powered by USB

Yearly more than 15 billion batteries are thrown away by global users, causing untold environmental damage.

With the increasing demand for portable power this environmental problem is only getting bigger and bigger.

This is where Simon Daniel and Chris Wright of Moixa Energy Ltd enter the picture. Their mission is to “invent and deliver technologies that provide consumers with better solutions for their mobile or home power requirements that are more usable, economic and environmentally friendly.”

They have introduced these NiMH AA cells that can be used just like ordinary AA batteries and are easily recharged by plugging them into any USB port.

Available from about R155.00 these batteries make a really cool gift.

Here’s a sneak peek of the future product releases from USBCELL.
