I read in Time that a hydrogen powered battery recharger the size of a bar of 
soap will be available by 2005, cost $25 and will last for more than a year. 
This will mean the end of disposable batteries, and all you will need is 2 
batteries to power all your gizmos for an entire thru hike. Just have them 
recharge as you sleep. Who knows? Disposables may even become illegal, like leaded 
gas
