Nyko's Charge Base 360 is finally shipping, acting much like the Charge Base PS3 they released last year. The 360 version is slightly different in that it comes with two special rechargeable battery packs with contacts that charge when docked into the charge base. If the $39 is slightly too expensive, you can go the cheaper route with Nyko's Charge Station 360, which just takes in packs instead of whole controllers. Order on June 2 and you'll be able to get their black and gold model, which looks like a original Star Trek series prop. [Nyko]

FastMac U-Charge is the First Universal External Apple Laptop Battery Charger
We've reviewed MacBook and MacBook Pro battery chargers before, but the problem with that is that they aren't compatible between different laptop types. Not so with FastMac's U-Charge. Their external battery charger lets you juice up MacBook Pro (15 and 17-inch), MacBook, PowerBook G4, iBook and even PowerBook G3 batteries externally all from the same unit.

radJacket CHARGE Case Keeps iPod Touch Juiced, Protected
Gnarly, 80s surf name aside, the radJacket CHARGE (not my capitalizing) is pretty cool, as iPod cases go. As well as keeping your Pretty safe from keys, bag- and pocket-umska, the case acts as a charger, giving your iPod Touch a whopping 46 hours of music, 12 of video and 10 of web browsing, on just a three-hour charge. See it in pieces after the jump. More »

Toshiba Satellite Laptops: New Fusion Look, Charge-Anytime USB Ports, Cheaper Prices
Mr. T's favorite laptop maker rolled out slick, useful and budget-minded updates to its Satellite line today. First up, the 13.3" U400, 14.1" M300, 15.4" A300 and 17" P300 have a new look called "Fusion," a shiny finish with pinstripes and smoothed edges, not unlike that sucka HP's successful smooth-n-shiny-n-pinstripey look. The eight shots in the gallery make the design look a bit greenish, so we'll have to wait to pass final judgment. It's one thing to look nice on the outside, but like T, these have a lot going on on the inside, too... More »

We saw a bunch of Nyko gear back at E3, but we didn't get a chance to do a hands on with this Charge Base 2 for the PS3. It's essentially just a dock that you can shove two SIXAXIS controllers onto to charge them when not in use. Why would this be useful? Because the default USB cord that comes with the PS3 is way too short to be charging and playing at the same time, meaning you're going to have to constantly walk all the way to your console after you're done playing to charge it. And if we can pay $29.99 to avoid walking, we'll do it. [IGN]

Toshiba's SCiB Battery Recharges Fast, Lives for 10-Years
Toshiba has just announced the imminent availability of their Super Charge ion Battery (SCiB), which will recharge to 90% in 5mins and has a life span of over 10-years. Unfortunately, the battery will only be made available to industrial markets initially (in either 2.4V/4.2Ah/150g or 24V/4.2Ah/2000g versions), but we are keeping our fingers crossed for a consumer edition. The SCiB will launch by March 2008, and it shall find its way into electrical vehicles as well as other "industrial systems," according to Mr Watanabe, CEO of Toshiba Industrial Systems. We understand that Mr Watanabe is probably very busy with the whole SCiB release thing, but that hasn't stopped us pleading to him: More »

Universal Charger Powers Tools, Manly Stuff
Unlike the universal chargers we've used to power our cellphones and MP3 players, this 10C Crew Charge provides juice to battery packs workers use when they're doing manly work. The Crew Charge has four sockets and universal tips so you can power battery packs from DeWalt, Bosch, Panasonic, Hitachi and more, plus even charging laptops or cellphones with the 12v DC adapter. The whole thing is colored safety orange for maximum worksite visibility, so some guy doesn't trip over it and drill an unnecessary hole in his body. [The Free Charger via Red Ferret]

Pelican PS3 Charging Station Stores, Electrifies Two Controllers
Keeping our PS3 controller charged is such a pain that we always have to plug it in whenever we're watching Blu-ray movies. Pelican's Charge and Store eliminates lazy charging syndrome by providing both a charger and a stand, so you can keep your gaming area organized at the same time. The retail price is $29, which isn't too bad since it juices two controllers at the same time—and seeing how short the included PS3 charge cable is, it'll save you a number of treks across the living room as well.

Plus, it even comes with two free battery packs; which cost $12 each when sold separately.

Betavoltaic Battery Could Power Your Laptop for Thirty Years
Research funded by the US Air Force Research Laboratory has come up with a breakthrough battery: a betavoltaic power cell that lasts for 30 years without a recharge. Made from radioactive material (I am writing this from my underground bunker) the batteries end their life being completely inert and non-toxic, so they're not as scary-bad as they sound. Here's how it works: More »

Philips just announced their upcoming Power2Charge and Power2Go chargers as part of their Power4Life line, a naming convention that's a Little2Precious. In any case, the USB chargers, including the flagship SCM7880 (pictured), holds up to 60 hours of juice inside and then charges up your phone, MP3 player, or whatever else you have that needs charging. It's got an LED indicator on the front that'll let you know how much juice is left, and it has six connector tips to hook up to your various toys. It's due to hit Europe this December, with no word on a Stateside release. [Philips]
