Disposable Battery Chargers

This Unique Little Device Will Bring Your Batteries Back to Life

— January 11, 2014 — Special
Before you throw out those used up batteries, think about getting a disposable battery charger. The best thing about this product is that it can be used on just normal batteries, which means you won't be confined to only buying and using special renewable ones. Now you can just purchase this product and use it on the energy capsules you have at home.

Not only does this disposable battery charger re-energize your fuel cells that aren't meant to be recharged, it can also work on almost all kinds. Eight can be refueled at a time, and the machine can tell whether it is a AAA, AA, A, C or D battery. On top of that, it shows you on a screen how far along the batteries are charged.
