Urine Powered Batteries! NoPoPo!
Another crazy invention by the Japanese.
NoPoPo URINE powered batteries! (Can you say “EWWWW”?!?)
Well, it’s actually an aqua powered battery so you can use any liquid (beer, apple juice, vodka, your saliva…) to recharge these batteries.
But hey, marketing these as URINE powered batteries can either make you curious enough to buy them or extremely grossed out to actually tell people about them. Good marketing job! Hahaha.
A single urine powered AA battery can power a flashlight for 20 hours! Not exactly long lasting but hey, if the batteries run out, just run to the washroom, fill up the plastic pipette and inject urine into the batteries.
How convenient is that, hahaha.
Good as new!
Available in AA and AAA size, and unfortunately only available in Japan.
