Going green means using rechargeable batteries rather than one-shot cells that clog landfills and contaminate groundwater. The problem is that if you’re on the road for any length of time, you have to take along a dedicated charger — and find someplace with AC power to plug it in. Moixa Energy’s ingenious Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) AA cell eliminates the need for either: Flip open its top to reveal a standard USB plug and slip it into your laptop’s USB port for a quick charge. (At home you can use a standard NiMH charger.) Most laptops have at least a couple of USB ports, so you can charge two cells at once. What’s more, a fully charged USBCell actually outlasts a standard alkaline battery in digital devices. About $20 for two. (source www.popphoto.com)

Introducing our revolutionary new rechargeable battery – the USBCELL.

This NiMH AA cell can be used like a normal battery and can be recharged simply by plugging into a USB port.

With over 15 billion Alkaline batteries made and thrown away each year – wasting resources, C02 and creating toxic Landfill – USBCELL offers a eco-friendly alternative as can be re-used hundreds of times as no charge adaptor or cable is needed, saving you money, hassle and waste.
