Thanko's Charger Bracelet: power for your mobile, DS, PSP on the go

Has this ever happened to you: after spending hours on road playing your favorite handheld RPG, you've finally reached the final dungeon containing the big, bad boss intent on ruling the world and the only way stopping him is you and your brave companions. And just when you're about to deal the final blow, your handheld's battery suddenly runs out. We would definitely call it a gamer's emergency, wouldn't you?

Japanese accessories maker Thanko is npw coming out with a promise that their nifty accessory will solve such situations. Their new Charger Bracelet accessory basically stores a number of Lithium-ion cells on a bracelet and plugs directly into handhelds and even mobile phones.

It already comes with adapter cables for the PSP, DS Lite, and specific mobile phone models available in Japan (au, DoCoMo, SoftBank). The Lithium-ion cells can be recharged separately through a USB port and lends around 15 to 22 hours of power for the Nintendo DS on its default setting and around three to four hours for the Sony PSP. While there have been local accessories with similar portable charging functions, Thanko's claiming their charger is more trendy.

Seeing how the device is only available in Japan so far, anybody who's interested in playing your handhelds on the go without the risk of your battery dying out will have to find away to import this accessory. The Charger Bracelet is set at 4,980 yen or around US$ 43 and is available through Thanko's online store.
