In the days of smart gadgets and phones the number of rechargeable battery-powered gadgets are increasing. But, our houses are still filled with gadgets like the cable remote, TV remote and many toys that run on the traditional AA batteries. The problem with these traditional AA batteries are non-rechargeable (single use type), no simple way to recycle they also run out and have to be replaced. Even with rechargeable AA batteries, these often come with clunky and expensive chargers that take up a large chunk of your power outlet strip. So wouldn’t it be better if these AA batteries embrace the new technology by being chargeable via USB cables or port directly from your computer? The batteries are inexpensive and can be charged over and over again, without having to buy an expensive charger.

What do you think of these rechargeable USB batteries? Would you ever use them in your gadgets?
