LAS VEGAS, USA-- The AA-batteries, in turn, power a USB port on the side, which can in turn be used to recharge any gadget you have that supports USB charging.

This makes it a great tool to have when traveling, especially when you are in the great outdoors. What's more, you can use it as a regular battery charger even without sun and wind simply by plugging it into the wall socket through an AC adapter.

The Taipei-based company that makes it is called Miniwiz. The devices costs US$50 and can be purchased online.
