Thanko seems to have a well-defined niche when it comes to manufacturing odd, yet definitely usable and practical, gadgets. The company has now developed a way for those who tend to run down the batteries of their portable gadgets to juice them up again quickly and conveniently.

Although there may be many other portable battery packs for charging available in the market, they're not likely to be as easy to carry around as Thanko’s USB Charger Bracelet.

The Charger Bracelet can be charged in approximately 4 hours and can provide a very decent amount of juice to your mobile or portable gaming console (22.5-28.5 hours on the DS Lite – lowest brightness – and 3.5-4.5 hours on the PSP). Simply plug and play, literally.

Since all you need to do is strap it onto your wrist, it doesn’t occupy much space and is extremely easy to carry around. There are also various converters that let you use the device with multiple products.

The USB Charger Bracelet is not likely to be available in India yet, except perhaps in the gray market. Unfortunately even the latter's not been confirmed so far.
