Pastel USBCell AA Batteries Spares the Life of Peeps, Chocolate Bunnies

Travis Hudson — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 16:30:26 EDT

Moxio has decided to take their wildly popular USBCell rechargeable USB AA battery and give it some color. These just aren't any colors, they are pastel colors just in time for Easter! This idea sound familiar? It should, Saitek is trying to hock their mice in a similar buy-this-to-put-in-an-Easter-basket fashion. What is the deal with Easter these days? Do you kids really want some gadgets rather than giant chocolate bunnies and peeps that will eventually rot your teeth and intestines? –Travis Hudson

USBCell For Your Cellphone Charges Via USB (Like Your Cellphone Already Does)

Jason Chen — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 16:30:49 EST

Everyone seems to love the USB Cell (the battery that can charge via USB ports), so they've decided to expand into the world of cellphones as well. It's the same idea as the original USBCell—take a battery, put a USB port on it, wipe your hands on your pants and call it a day—but fits into cellphones instead of MP3 players.

Now to charge your cellphone, all you have to do is take off the back, plug in the extendable USB plug and you're in business. Much easier than buying a spare charger for your phone, right? Right? – Jason Chen

Rechargeable batteries that charge via USB? Sure, why not? The Moixa USBCELL batteries can be charged using a regular charging station as well as the USB port in your PC, laptop, Xbox 360, or USB car charger. At this point, a USB port is so readily found in your home or office it may be easier to charge it using that instead of lugging around a charger.

Pick up two for 12.99 ($24). – Jason Chen
