Yes - actually quite good and very handy you can charge just by plugging in to a USB port. Use NiMH chemistry but only 1300mah capacity - but I tested them and they were a 'genuine' 1300mah (or very close) whereas many batteries are actually 10-20% lower than quoted capacity.

But on the other hand you can already get small USB chargers for AA batteries - I have one that takes 4 x AA batteries and can work as a USB portable power source or a AA charger and it's barely bigger than the AA batteries it takes. Load that up with 2500-2700mah batteries and each one is almost twice the capacity.
