Make a Fashion Statement with the USB Battery Bracelet

Few would argue that adding 28 hours of additional run time for your DS Lite or 4.5 hours of runtime for your PSP is a bad thing. Many of us might have an issue with the fact that the battery that provides these greatly extended run times is on your wrist.

Thanko has a new charging bracelet that gets its charge from your USB port. The system includes a charge adapters for the DS Lite, the PSP, au adapter, DoCMo (FOMA)/SoftBank (3G) adapter. The bracelet measures in at 26 x 3.5 x 1.2cm and weighs 80g. The USB cable is 120cm and the internal battery is a 1500mAh Lithium-ion unit. The other two adapters allow you to use the bracelet to power some cellular and smartphones. The charge cable is coiled like a old-fashioned phone cord for more freedom of movement. This reminds me a bit of the Motorola USB charger we covered last year.
