American mid-tech slippage? Why can’t I find this at Fry’s?


Over on the Guardian’s website, I saw a link for what you see pictured: nickel-hydride AA batteries with a twist. That twist is a flip-top that reveals a USB connector. You plug them into your computer’s USB port to recharge. (They can also be recharged in conventional NiMH chargers). Listed recharge time (in computers, I guess?) is a bit slow, at six hours, but not terrible.

I’m not joking when I talk about American slippage. Why CAN’T I find this at Fry’s?
