Here is a question of the day...would you pay to recharge the batteries of your cell phone? A company in Japan is betting that people will and if they are successful in Japan, you know it will only be a matter of time before you start seeing similar devices in the US
The concept is fairly simple. Battery life for most gadgets such as cell phones and computers isn't long enough to last an entire day. That means that if you use them all day, at some point you are going to have to find someplace to recharge the battery.
The one in Japan charges $1 for 5 minutes of recharging, $2 for 10 minutes and $3 for 20 minutes. It will be interesting to see how successful these battery charging terminals become and if there are enough people willing to pay to have their gadgets ready to use with enough power whenever they want.
