If you're the type of person who suffers from back or muscle aches and a requires a warmer in order to feel better, fret now, SANYO's got you covered, since they've just announced the release of the "Rechargeable Waist Warmer" as a new addition to the 'eneloop warmer series', as well as a redesign of their “Rechargeable Neck Warmer” model.

SANYO has been developing the eneloop universe products since November 2006, as a product line to expand the eneloop rechargeable battery concept of a 'lifestyle that values reusing and recycling', with the 'eneloop warmer series', a product group of the eneloop universe products, helping people to keep warm.

Thanks to its light weight and flexibility, the heater unit of the “Rechargeable Waist Warmer”, including the thin film heaters which are made of carbon and special materials, fits the body easily and does not stand out when worn under clothing and can be used all year round, at home or at the office.

The product is available in 2 sizes, M and L for both men and women, and the belt is adjustable and can be washed by hand (excluding the heater and the power source).

The power source is the 'eneloop mobile booster (KBC-L3A)' which is capable of recharging mobile phones such as the iPhone, and other mobile devices such as portable game consoles and portable audio players.

The small and light weight booster is equipped with a high capacity lithium-ion battery that fits into the pocket on the outside of the belt, and can also be replaced at the end of the battery life.

The heater unit is equipped with 2 thin film heaters to warm both sides of the backbone on the waist, which tend to get stiff or cold.

The thin film heaters are designed to warm a surface of the body to 38 to 45 Celsius degrees on average, to prevent overheating.

SANYO 's "Rechargeable Waist Warmer" is set to hit the shelves in Japan in mid-October, but no pricing details have been provided thus far.
