The ReCharge4: reusable power for your handheld
It’s three in the morning, you’re on your week-long camping trip, and you’ve been up for the past three hours playing the latest build of the hardcore homebrew known as Ponies and Kittens. You’ve reached level 377, the final stage that was programmed into the latest build. You’re about to complete that masterpiece of gaming perfection when your PSP suddenly blinks and dies.
You’ve run out of batteries, and the game had no save point in sight. The anguished cries of your soul resound across the wilderness with your scream, scaring the wild bears away from your camp and leaving you sad, alone, and depressed for the rest of your trip.
Things would have been different, however, if only you brought a ReCharge4. Badam tipped us onto this product, a multipurpose recharging system for your handhelds, and it does look quite promising. According to the product sheet, the ReCharge4 is a reusable battery that lets you charge your handhelds from empty to full. It’s multipurpose because the battery can connect to pretty much all of the well-known handhelds out now, such as Sony‘s PSP and Nintendo’s DS and Game Boy systems.
Not only that, but the thing can perform up to four full charges to handhelds from one charging session. If you owned multiple handhelds, you could charge them one after the other virtually anywhere. Pretty handy for even the strangest of gaming binges (such as that Mystery Dungeon business, you sly dog, you). Exspect, the company that’s selling it, has it priced for £ 40 (US$ 75) and also has ReCharge4 variants for your cellular phones and mp3 players. Handy when you really need a boost, that’s for sure.
