Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Spotted these in Morrisons (but cheaper at £5.80 or so) and thought they might be worth a try. You plug them straight into USB ports on your PC/laptop then there's a little cap that covers the USB plug bit and they turn into batteries. I shall report my findings to the forum .

bluekarin Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 that's a bit cool! I don't have a Morrisons near me, but would love to hear how well they work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardene5 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi These look a good idea as they could be plugged into any USB port. Will be very interested in hearing the out come of these batteries. Are there any restrictions as to what they can be used in for example digital camera? Best regards Ian & Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckleyboo Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi, i actually have these - originally got them because i kept losing my battery charger and because they seemed quite funky. I've found that they are very good batteries, the charge lasts well, and the fact you can plug them into your computer is great, also can plug your xbox if you have one or other things that has usb ports - if its on it will charge it, the only exception to this is sky boxs - the newish ones have a usb port but it is currently deactive (sky say it might be used in the future). I havent found any problems with using them in anything, my main use was my digital camera. Also, i found my normal rechargable batteries lose life after awhile and one charge doesnt last anywhere near as long as originally, the usb ones still last as well as when i got them just over a year ago. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps That is a huge help, thank you I shall have to try and get hold of some, especially for our Wii remotes and digital cameras as they seem to eat batteries.
