Aqua Batteries, based in Japan, has developed a snazzy new battery that runs off of various fluids, and yes, that does include urine. Hooray!!! This is just the product I have been waiting for. I can’t even count the number of times a flashlight, class clicker, or walkman, (and yes I DO know what an iPod is), has died right when I needed it, and I start thinking, “If only there was a way I could pee on it and make it work…I would never ask for anything again.” And FINALLY my prayers have been answered.
The NoPoPo battery has not only made this dream come true, but also has an endlessly entertaining name and comes with a package that displays an adorable, angry, yellow robot whose presence just screams, “BUY ME!!!” NoPoPo stands for Non-Pollution Power and is available in AA and AAA form. The batteries are re-chargeable but lose their peak power after the first charge, which means they can only be used three to five times. That’s not too bad, and they don’t contain any harmful chemicals or mercury so you are not faced with the usual panic attack when the need to dispose of them arrives. Instead of painstakingly searching for a place to recycle them, or hoarding them until a place to recycle them presents itself, or throwing them away and then feeling like you just nuked the Earth, simply place them in the trashcan and walk away knowing you are a wonderful person because you have a battery hat can run on pee. Disclaimer: peeing on batteries may have unwanted side affects, such as strange smell, loss of friends, unsanitary small appliances, and/or awkward dating situations. Please urinate wisely.

No way is for real? Liquid batteries, and rechargeable too.
They probably named this NoPoPo because if the police ever saw you peeing on a battery you would probably get in serious trouble. Maybe they should get NWA or R Kelly to be a spokesperson.
