I dont get why there is USB freakin' everything. Why would I want to have to use my computer to charge batteries? Its like all the stupid USB christmas trees, and beverage warmers. Are people that nerdy and asocial that they need to have all their shiz connected to their computer?!

Because it's too easy to put USB on anything and everything.

My laptop can charge USB devices while in stand-by mode, so it's kind of like a portable power source. These batteries would be awfully great for use on the road, when it is not possible to find a power outlet. Although it's been some time since I last used anything with AA batteries, I'm sure it would come in handy some time.

"I dont get why there is USB freakin' everything."

What's the "U" stand for again?

This is great to use it for the Nintendo Wii controller and the USB ports on the Wii.

Energizer has a USB charger that is better in my opinion:

I picked one up at Home Depot, and it is quite convenient to be able to charge both AA and AAA on the go with my computer. It comes with a wall socket USB charger, and software exists for it too in the form of a widget for both Mac and PC.

I would use my computer to recharge batteries. 1) My computer is always on, 2) I have several open USB ports at any given time, 3) these are cheaper than $20 device to do the same thing, 4) my digital camera eats up batteries like crazy.

You guys are all a bunch of nerds. Go get a girlfriend and some REAL batteries, instead of some half capacity toys you plug in your computer. I guess they would look great next your Halo Spartan Helmet and your World of Warcraft action figures though.

I am not reading a tech website, I am trolling a tech website. There's a difference.
