AAA Battery Powered Mobile Phone
AAA Battery Powered Mobile Phone
Would you believe it? A mobile phone powered by AAA size alkaline batteries.
In fact it does not have to be alkaline batteries it could be any AAA size batteries, or even rechargeable NiMH cells. Olive Telecommunications based in India have come up with this brilliant product. The mobile phone is aptly named, FrvrOn (short for Forever On).
It does have a Lithium Ion battery like any other mobile phone, but it also has the capability to be charged by the single AAA size battery. Giving the user an additional hour or so of talktime. The phone even boasts a 1.5 inch colour LCD screen.
You won’t be blamed for wondering, why a larger higher capacity Lithium Ion battery was not used? This is due to the nature of electricity supply in rural areas of India, where it is very erratic. As a low cost mobile phone this would serve as a life-line to the users based in such areas. Also, not forgetting those who are constantly on the move or are working in the field where a power socket is hard to come by.
Using a Duracell Plus or Ultra AAA size batteries should give more talk time and using Duracell Rechargeable batteries might make the mobile phone truly forever on.
