Toaster-Inspired Gadgets

Toasting Charger Makes Juicing Up Batteries Fun

The ‘Toasting Charger’ by designer Hyun-A Ko brings a little fun action into the boring process of charging batteries.

The design is built as a traditional toaster. You slide your lithium ion batteries in as you would a piece of bread, push the toaster handle down and wait for the battery to pop back up again when fully charged.

The Toasting Charger comes with a toast-shaped LED light indicator that communicates the status of charging.
