Free batteries for life, courtesy of the sun

solarbatterycharger_small.jpg

How'd you like to never pay for batteries again? And I'm not talking about plain old rechargeable batteries here. You still need to pay for the electricity that charges those. No, I'm talking totally, completely free from here on out. All you need to do is buy one item, and forever and ever you'll have free batteries. What do you say?

The Four Battery Solar Charger will juice your batts up using everyone's favorite free energy source: the sun. It can fill up four batteries of any kind in a mere six hours on a sunny day, keeping your remote controls and whatever else people still use regular batteries for juiced up and ready to go at all times. Now that we've taken care of that major expense, it's time to figure out how to get the sun to provide us with free food. Let's make it happen.

The sun does provide us with free food, think about all the fruits and vegetables that it helps grow.
