Charge Battery relies on good ol’ winding power

Eneloops from Sanyo, when it first hit the scene, proved to be quite the hit considering they were charged right out of the box, and had a lifespan of more than a thousand charges without the “memory effect” problem – that is, the battery not being charged to its full capacity, at least for quite some time (in my case, anyways). Check out the Charge Battery concept that takes a different route when it comes to getting juiced – no sir, you won’t find flexible solar panels on the outside of these batteries, but rather, they work in a similar manner to winding toys, although we don’t think that a few twists are enough to bring it up to capacity. If only someone could build some sort of motor that is hamster-powered to turn the Charge Battery…
