AA Rechargeable batteries via USB

[tbplayer22]

I don't know if this has been posted before, but evidently this has been out for a year. It's news to me. I read a review on them and this guy said he got 500 pictures from a digital camera on a full charge. That's good enough for me. With the convenience of being able to charge them anywhere that there is a USB port. Pretty inventive product.

i bought one from Fry's a year ago, their "ok". IMO, I love my Ultralast 90 min battery charger which you can get at Micro Center for around $15. Have no complaints about it, the USB charger is an over night charger.

Its $22 now, but usually on sale other times.

EDIT: whoops, just now click on your link, damn thats nice, wonder how long it takes to charge it.

That is freaking cool. I can't wait to see when they come out with more types. The review indicated that cell phone batteries, AAA, and 9-volt batteries are next. As the parent of a 2 year old, I go through batteries like there is no tomorrow. I might have to get some of these.

that's pretty neat

I use those and have been for over a year...I don't know about the 500 pics, but they workl...

For my trip though, I bought Sony premium or something as I wanted to take a crap load of pictures and my rechargeables don't do that...When I bought them at Fry's, they seemed cheaper (Ultralast)...

Those aren't the same brand though.
