Funny we should swoon over something as mundane as batteries. But we are, thanks to ACME Industries' colorful design for Volta batteries...

Personally, though they do look pretty, it would drive me nuts every time I would have two batteries whose gradients didn't match up perfectly. Also, I could foresee others possibly confusing the different colors as different powers, which they're clearly not.

Still, it definitely beats your standard battery packaging. What do you guys think?
