Pensa, the NYC-based strategic design consultancy, presents the InCharge Battery Station that provides a recharging solution to almost all type of rechargeable batteries (AAA, AA, C and D). The battery station comes with an easy "drop-in" self-rotating design with dedicated slots to collect, sort and recharge the batteries.

Gently press the lever, and the LEDs start illuminating to indicate charging in progress. When you fully press down on the lever, a retraction occurs in individual recharging coils and the batteries come out of their slots only after they are fully charged. The batteries that still need charging continue to be in the bin-like charging station. A dedicated smart plug shuts down all power to the unit when it senses that all batteries in the unit are fully charged.
You can vote for it here to see it contending with the equally inspiring concepts like this at the Greener Gadgets Design Competition finals.
