Battery Organizer that Helps Keeping Your House Clean and Tidy

October 20th, 2006

If you have batteries spread around in your house, you might want to consider buying this battery organizer. With more and more digital cameras and MP3 players come with internal non-standard rechargeable battery, I am kind of doubt that whether there is anybody needs to keep and use so many batteries.

The Battery Organizer holds up to nine AA, 17 AAA, five C, eight D, and six 9v batteries all at once, and includes an onboard tester so you can know which are the good batteries (worth storing here) and which are not. Lantern swivels up out of the housing to light your way (requires two C batteries). No batteries are included. Carry handle. 8? in dia., 8? tall.

Toshiba TDP-FF1AU Projector When projectors were first released, the price is so high that most of consumers won’t even think about that. Right now, to get a 80″ viewing screen for watching your football games with a pretty decent projector isn’t a costly dream anymore. Furthermore, with the latest Toshiba’s TDP-FF1AU mobile projector, you can even save more money.

The TDP-FF1AU projector is the latest gadget that is introduced by Toshiba. The best thing of the TDP-FF1AU projector is that it can powered on battery, that’s why it is called a mobile projector.

However, the trade off is the Toshiba TDP-FF1AU project only can provide brightness of 400 lux which is considerably low for getting bright and sharp display for more than 60″.

The Toshiba TDP-FF1AU weighs just 1.1 pounds and has a 1500:1 high contrast ratio. Besides that, there are no delays due to warm-up or cooling. The projector offers native SVGA 800×600 pixel resolution. With energy-efficient LEDs driving the light source, you save on battery as well.

Input terminals on the TDP-FF1AU include RGB, composite, USB and stereo mini jack. It offers manual keystone-correction (vertical +/- 16°), as well as HDTV/DTV compatibility. The included battery lasts for 2 hours on a full charge, and it can be recharged in about 3.5 hours.

Priced at US $699, the Toshiba TDP-FF1AU projector is an excellent gadget for mobile presenters.
