Seesaw Battery: AA Batteries Get Smarter

From designer Young Suk Kim, this battery that would make the frustrating task of getting those darn batteries out the compartment a lot easier. And there's no need to break a fingernail in the process. It's called the Seesaw, and the ends of the battery are tapered, so that you can push down on one end and the other end pops up!

This design is for AA batteries, but there is no reason that it couldn't be used for AAAs like in all of those remote controls and kids toys we have around our houses. Here's hoping this will get picked up by Energizer or Duracell, and we'll see these in stores soon.
