greencellbatterypowerI can’t tell you how many times has a dead battery disappointed me or someone I know. Despite progress in many areas of consumer electronics, there have been few battery breakthroughs recently. No wonder batteries are responsible for many of consumer frustrations with gadgets. Sounds too good to be true but take a look at this award-winning idea of a universal green battery. This eco-friendly product concept was a recent winner of the Greener Gadgets Competition in New York.

Even though buying third-party batteries is way cheaper now than before it is still a hassle. And if you don’t like the clutter of chargers with their cords, this is a great tool. Who knows if the “one battery works everywhere” concept will prove to be realistic or not as there are so many industry issues possible to its adaptation.

As with other green technologies this is not going to be cheap but I am sure it will catch on pretty fast and prices will fall once China takes over its production :)

Green Cell is a concept with a single simple idea: use safe, standardized rechargeable batteries in all portable gadgets. The environment would benefit from fewer batteries being thrown away, and you’d need fewer chargers for all your gear.
