Haimo Bao, Hailong Piao, Yuancheng Liu & Xiameng Hu have designed a set of batteries called Continuance that can be used as normal in clocks, toys, torches and game handsets or they can be carried around in your pocket to be used when an electrical outlet is too far away and your cell phone, Playstation, Mp3 player or digital camera needs a boost. This is because it has a USB port on the side that can be plugged into so that the charge transfers from the battery cell to your device. The design is still in the conceptual phase, but it has been entered into the IF Concept design awards for 2011.
