I’ve seen a lot of interesting ways to recharge batteries in the last few years. Most of them involve some form of solar, wind or some other alternative energy source. Never have I seen a battery that get a charge from me peeing on it. Okay, you don’t just pee on it, but it does recharge using urine.
The Nopopo batteries use a combination of magnesium and carbon that can be mixed with a variety of fluids (including urine) to produce a charge. These batteries only last around 500mAh, which is far less than your average alkaline AA battery, but at least you won’t have to kill the earth to recharge them.

Funny! In italian (children language), “No Popo” means “No Shit” 🙂

pee pee powered batteries? no thanks.
Kill the earth?
You mean use a solar or wind source?
Stupid fucking idiot.
thanks for the post
Thanks to Disqus this place is great.
That is really gross. I am glad we are thinking about ways to help the enviornment but gross!

I prefer killing the Earth with Duracell than actually using a battery that involved peepee recharge:)) I appreciate human creativity, but some things are just way too creative for me. I prefer the battery that can be recharged by wind power. You don'y have to pee in it, you just have to “blow” it:))
Nice post, also liked the article. I have got the same niche website. Please have a look: webdesign winschoten, or have a look at one of my articles about the same subject: kbd-design
Even though this is a smart idea its kind of disgusting im gonna find other ways to recharge batteries other than pissing on them

They also run on water…
Recharge batteries with urine, better drink my own piss!
this NoPoPo stuff is a scam , we tried the batteries and they have less then 100 mA capacity (versus 3000 mA for an alkaline) and they expand after using them for a few hours , destroying the product…
Eco Friendly ? yeah right , it uses magnesium and steel casings that deplete the earth of resources and when you need 30 batteries versus 1 alkaline to achieve the same capacity (read duration of use) it shines a whole different light on these supposed “eco friendly” batteries.
