Sanyo eneloop Music Booster Revealed [Sanyo unveils battery-charger for 9V Music Equipment]

Tweet

Panasonic bought Sanyo just five days ago, but that hasn’t stopped Sanyo from unveiling a new product in their ‘eneloop’ line of cheap, green gadgets. The new eneloop Music Booster acts as a rechargeable battery for 9V heavy musical equipment.

No, the eneloop music booster won’t recharge your iPod Nano, instead, the rechargeable 9V battery is intended for heavy music equipment, like equalizers, multitrack recorders and the sort of thing you’d find at a live concert. While these devices are usually powered by AC adapters, the eneloop music booster can keep the music going by acting as a cheap, portable battery.

The remarkable thing about the eneloop booster is that it can power two heavy 9V devices for up to 50 hours when fully charged, leading some on the internet to imagine this gadget could be a perfect ‘emergency’ unit for small bands that forget their AC adapters. The eneloop music booster is coming out in Japan on March 4th, 2010 for $110, with a North American release rumored after that.
