Teknocreations’ InCharge Juices Wiimotes Without Contact

We’ve featured a couple of Wiimote charging solutions before, but here’s one that’s gotten around the pesky problem of charging without metal contacts-annoying if you actually use those Wiimote jackets. Teknocreations’ InCharge allows you to dock up to two ‘motes, silicon and all, to grab 25 hours of gameplay juice. How? Magic (i mean, inductive…

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…

Freeloader USB Battery Charger Supposedly World’s Smallest

This new gizmo will charge a pair of your AA or AAA NiMH/NiCad batteries in three to four hours of slurping power from a USB socket, no power brick required. It’s also apparently the “smallest and lightest” in the world. That may or may not be true, but it certainly is small enough to slip…

A Steam-Powered Battery Charger Seems Really Practical

You read that right. It’s a steam-powered battery charger. Yeah, this is something we can picture everyone building on their own. Before you go and ridicule these people with emails they’ll probably never read (because they’re insane mountain people), the charger doesn’t charge your standard AA batteries. It charges a 48V battery bank. You know,…
