Check this out.
http://www.usbcell.com/ These look pretty sweet. takes a couple hours to charge a battery through your USB. they say they are good for over 500 full drain/charges. I kinda want to get a pair just to see how they actually work. I think it is a great idea. most computers these days have many USB ports - laptops these days have atleast 3-4 - and most of the ports go unused. im thinking for something like wireless keyboard & mouse, get a couple sets of these and just keep rotating them. there are a couple of reviews out there on them, but they are kinda crappy.

for 20 bucks a pair I'll get a fist full of regular rechargables and keep them in my laptop/cammera bag.
They look neet though.

ya, they are alot for two bateries, but for something like a wireless keyboard or mouse that takes AA, that would be pretty handy.

SAW THE NEWS, it looks like a great way to carry and quick charge. I think I will hold a bit until the technology has improved

I'm thinking a compact charger and a couple sets of NiMH would be better, maybe the same thing with Li-Ion would be worth that price
