Here’s something nice for you if you’re an environmentalist. Powertrekk has rolled out the Fuel Cell Charger, which is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who spend time away from the electricity grid.
The portable charger consists of two-part systems such as a hydrogen fuel cell and a battery pack. The battery pack can be charged and used by itself or you can use the fuel cell to charge the battery and use that power on-the-go. The Powertrekk Fuel Cell Charger features a USB port to charge any USB-powered gadgets. The case holds not only a disposable sodium silicide container to generate the hydrogen gas (which then gets recombined with oxygen in a proton exchange membrane to produce 1000mAh of usable electricity) but also a 1600mAh lithium-ion battery which can provide up to one amp of juice.
This way, you’ve got a backup battery if you misplace your cans of fairy dust, and a buffer for the fuel cell too, allowing you to keep those volts in powder or electrochemical form instead of carting around combustable hydrogen — which is always a nice bonus when you think about it.
Pricing info is still unknown as of now though.
