You can crack them open, and stick a charger on it. Makes it an almost useless microUSB powerbank, but at least it isn't disposable.
Total cost for me, about £5, and some solder.
Edit: Here's a video showing what's inside.
DONT apply 5V on the hoppers body! The battery is direcly connectet to the body and 5V will kill your battery ( and may be the electronics). You can see the polarity in the picture. http://imgur.com/a/y1GDo
you can use a cheap lipo /liion usb charger to charge the battery.
Something like this (amazon ca)
The hopper charger cable has a module like that in the black thing near the USB plug. May be the exact same thing. ( didn't check ). So the hopper cant do anything with 5V (except die and explode).
However. Making something that will attach nicely to the hopper and make good contact will be hard to make. You will need a round magnet some nice solution for the contacts to rebuild the original charger. Or you take big ass alligator clips or solder wires on (pls no).
you could take the charger module and make a really chap lipo/liion charger. But that will be hard to make nicely again. Even if you have a maker space with a 3D printer laser cutter tools ect...
If you have still questions feel free to ask.
