Tech Gift Guide – #6 Better Rechargeable Batteries ($12 and up)
Rechargeable AA batteries have been around for a long time, but they’ve had one big weakness: Whether you used them or not, they lost their charge in a matter of weeks. If you plopped them in a camera two weeks ago, they’re already ripe for a multi-hour visit to the charger. But a new generation of rechargeables can keep their charge for up to a year. They’re sold under the brand names Hybrio, Sanyo Eneloop and Duracell Rechargeable Pre-charged. This could be a thrifty standalone gift, or a good accessory if you’re giving someone a battery-powered gadget. You can get a four-pack of AAs with a charger for $20.
