Every year a behemoth of alkaline batteries are rubbished, equivalent to a column of batteries to the moon and back! Rechargeable batteries have been available in the market but the dependence on power sockets is quite a hassle. They are not very portable and are inefficient; this has lead to a drastic fall on their reuse. With more and more dependence on batteries this alternative is not really feasible.
Moixa energies have come up with a better idea; USBCELL. Now recharging your batteries is as simple as plugging them into your USB ports without the hassle of cables and power sockets. USB ports are readily available almost everywhere, in homes and offices, on computers, laptops and even gaming devices such as XBOX, PS3 and WII. Just attach the battery to the USB port and it is ready to power your devices for nearly 5 hours non stop. Currently available in AA, USBCELL will also be available in 9V and mobile phones.
Although the eco friendly USBCELL have been available since last year in most of the high street stores, this sustainable product has been so well received that is a finalist for the 2007 National Energy efficiency awards, an eminent award to celebrate the achievements of technologies, individuals and organizations that can help reduce energy use and combat climate change.
