Charge your batteries in the streets of London.

This method of recharging batteries is a cool concept, but is only available in the UK. Hopefully it will spread out to the world soon.

"Have you ever run out of battery whilst you are away from your home and been unable to use your phone or ipod? Have you wished there was some way to charge it before you got home? If so ChargeBox is the solution you've been hoping for.
ChargeBox is a machine which enables you to charge devices such as mobile phones, ipods and pdas inside a securable locker. You can safely leave your device charging and collect it at your convenience.
ChargeBoxes can be found in locations such as hotels, gyms, train stations, airports, hospitals, internet cafes and on the high street.
It costs £1 to use a ChargeBox which gives you up to 40 minute charging time. This can be paid either with a coin or by SMS."

It's hard to imagine this being a practical business model, but who doesn't want more charging options!

That's the best thing I've heard all day. I would totally do that if I were on travel. Unf it's not big enough for a laptop, which is often what bizness ppl are freaking out about charging.
