If things go well for Toshiba’s new venture, on the go charging could see a big change.
The Dynario fuel-cell for USB portable electronics is a direct methanol fuel-cell (DMFC) with cartridges for refueling.
Available next Thursday (29th), the units cost $328 and $34 for five 50ml fuel cartridges.
The 14ml tank takes 20 seconds to fill and uses a lithium-ion battery to store enough charge for two regular cellphones.
Engadget have worked out it costs around $1 per recharge but the revolution may be a way away, the first run is of 3,000 units as a test of Japanese consumer reaction.
