USB battery pack

2007-10-17 00:57:33.754547+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Just this Saturday I was trying to talk someone through the idea of using a stack of NiMH AA or AAA cells to power a bike computer that only had 6 hours or so of runtime. Someone's productized it, and while you could easily build the NiMH version of this yourself, rather that the LiIon version, for $50 less, at $69 this seems perfect for the bike yuppie without a soldering iron to whom I'd love to offer a solution, but whose solution I don't want to support: 5V Pocket-Size Lithium Battery Pack with USB connector, a battery life extender for your USB powered device.
