Eco-batteries, your savior on Christmas morning

After the mountain of wrapping paper I find myself beneath on Christmas morning, I am usually bombarded by kid requests for one thing - batteries. And of course, of the thousand things I've gotten to prepare for C-Day, batteries are usually the one very important thing that are overlooked. But not this year, thanks to one item we loved so much, we included it in our Tech Holiday Gift Guide this year.
With these super cool, super eco-friendly Ethical Ocean rechargeable batteries, I won't find myself removing batteries from every remote in the house to power the kids' new toys.

These aren't your typical rechargeable batteries that use a charger that you plug into the wall; the ingenious folks who invented these made them USB-rechargeable, so they get juiced straight from your PC, or or other USB port. Genius.

The batteries last up to 500 charge cycles for use over and over again--think of all the traditional batteries you would use in that period of time. I'd imagine both your landfills and your remote controls thank you. -Jeana 
The batteries are available from Ethical Ocean for $19 for a pack of two. And find more great ideas for green tech gifts in the Cool Mom Tech Holiday Gift Guide!
