Remember the AT-AT Walkers from Star Wars the Empire Strikes Back? If you're not sure, here's a clip:

For those of us who aren't Lego geeks, or Star Wars obsessed, or who weren't even literate when the film was released, AT-AT stands for All Terrain Armored Transport.

Secondly, these batteries are definitely a "life-saver" for the environement as approximately three billion "single-use batteries" are discarded every year.
