Tethercell is AA battery with bluetooth
Why does your humble standard battery need Bluetooth? The answer is simple, to make it smarter. Manufactured by Tetherboard, the Tethercell is sized as an AA battery but it holds an AAA battery inside its casing along with the Bluetooth chip. Although the enclosed AAA battery might not have enough juice, the smart battery makes sure that this limited energy is properly utilized. For more power a Tethercell can also be used on a system of multiple batteries.

Since the battery has Bluetooth it warns you beforehand when the battery is about to run out. You can also use your smartphone to control its power. So whether your siblings have managed to snatch the TV remote control from your hands, you can switch off the power on the batteries inside the remote control and letting them know you still have the upper hand. The innovation which is still in a prototype stage is up for display at this year’s CES. The company is currently in talks with investors for financing its mass production. For the meanwhile though the price has been fixed at $20 (1,100 INR) but the company hopes to get it down to $10 (550 INR) when large scale production begins.
