USBCell Batteries

Portable power made easy PC

Customer rating:

The fact that you're surfing across our gloriously orangey site means you're probably into portable gadgets. It also means you need fresh batteries on a regular basis. Because a gizmo without batteries is as much use as a bike without wheels. And that can be rather annoying because the cost of batteries soon adds up, doesn't it? Well no, not if you use USBCell Batteries.

USBCell Batteries

USB plug-n-charge

As the name suggests, these revolutionary AA size batteries are recharged via your computer's USB port - no bulky chargers or cumbersome cables required. Simply flip open the cap at the positive end of the battery to reveal the connector and plug it straight in. Each battery even features an LED that indicates charge status. Genius!

Unless you're some kind of techno-dunce, you're bound to be surrounded by USB ports: on your PC, your laptop and even your Xbox 360. And if you really are a techno-dunce you probably don't know what a USB port is anyway - we're certainly not going to waste time telling you now.

Brilliant for powering PC peripherals such as wireless mice and keyboards, these eco-friendly batteries are also ideal travelling companions when you're out gallivanting with your laptop, as you won't need to sully the line of your suit with additional adaptors and chargers.

USBCell Batteries
Seeing as flat batteries are about as much use as margarine turbochargers, we can think of no good reason why you wouldn't want to buy a set of USBCell Batteries immediately. And don't say "because I'm never near any USB ports" because you're sitting next to a couple right now!

visitor avatar Just to be completely sure - can you charge these using Firebox's USB Mains Charger?
Stephanie, Reading, UK - 5th December 2011
Firebox says: Hi Stephanie, I can happily report that the USBCell Batteries can be charged with Firebox's USB Mains Charger!
visitor avatar Hi just wanted to ask if you do a 'AAA' version of this, as thats what my MP3 runs on? Thanks, I love this and would by it if there was an 'AAA' version.
Hayley Mc, Medway, Kent - 7th August 2011
Firebox says: Not at the moment Hayley, sorry.
visitor avatar Top top batteries - ingenious design. Just plug in and charge pretty much anywhere. However, unfortunately they do not fit into the front usb ports on the xbox 360 as the ports on the front go inside the case a little and the lids of the batteries prevent you from pushing them all the way in...otherwise great item!
Andy, Chilterns, UK - 5th February 2011
visitor avatar Does the USBCell work as a normal USB as well as a battery.
Alex Cortazzi, Leicester - 9th January 2011
Firebox says: It's just a battery, not a memory stick.
visitor avatar I was wondering whether the batteries come ready charged? Thanks.
Louise, Blackwood, South Wales - 10th December 2010
Firebox says: They do not, you have to charge them before first use.
visitor avatar Does that mean I can plug one into my iphone charger block to give them some juice?
Kevin, Essex - 9th December 2010
Firebox says: As long as that's USB, see no reason why that wouldn't work.
visitor avatar Can you use these with the Flip Ultra II?
Antony, Winchester - 17th December 2009
Firebox says: You can use these with anything that requires AA batteries, including the Flip Ultra II
visitor avatar On the minus side, they sort of break in half after a month or two of using them. On the plus side, when stuck back together with electrical tape, they still work fine (and have been for over a year now). All in all - I'd buy them again as they're damn handy.
alexandra.dey, Niland - 18th February 2009
visitor avatar Say, I got a Wii for christmas and they run on battery pack Wiimotes, but I only have 1 but both can charge via USB with this revolutionary device! These are legendary!
Devon, Hillside,Illinoiis - 2nd January 2009
visitor avatar These things are great. I found out you dont have to leave your PC on to charge them! Any old (powered) USB port will do. Ive gotten charge from my printer, router, Xbox 360, Sky+ box, they even work with that solar Freeloader charger they sell on here! You just gotta get a few of these to try!
