EEVblog #751 - How To Debunk A Product (The Batteriser)

[Blocco]

Oh dear, it seems like the whole world is against Batteroo.

Here are just a few of the obstacles they've had to deal with:

-Online smear capaign
-Industrial espionage
-"Big battery" conspiracy
-Energizer lawsuit
-Product manufacturers making their products' battery compartments too small

If this "game changing" invention ever sees the light of day we'll all be ruined, it must be stopped I tell you!!!

[Koen]

Worse, they had to deal with clients expecting a functional product true to their marketing claims and delivered on time.

Better he had spoken at the school of psychology "Lunch with a con man" or "Delusion and me" events.

Did you write that before or after checking out SCUSoE.

New video out, still claiming 8x more battery life

Where did he say that? Haven't noticed it but could have missed it, not going to watch that crappy cartoon with crappy music again.

And in what civilized country do people still trow batteries in the landfill??

[dr_frost_dk]

Just corrected it to 80% battery left in "dead" battery, it's in the first 15 seconds

[D3f1ant]

 It's funny that their little cartoon shows a corded keyboard as an example

[Luminax]

And that's their new invention! Wired Keyboard, 800000000000% more battery life! (because it uses f**k all)

Me neither. Is the batterpoo going to add a new category to the Darwin Awards.

Who is he? it's obviously not his first video.
Still it's good of batterloo to be providing more evidence for the court case.

[Mr.B]

I love the way he looks up at the end (1:23) as if to get approval from whomever was coaching him through that cow pat of a presentation.

[SL4P]

1970's infomercial... ?
There are so many things wrong with this in today's environment - except for Bob's target market - over 70's that know zero about batteries, and have a reasonably high disposable income.

batteryflatterloos - recommended for medical devices where you don't want to be unexpectedly caught out with a flat battery.

Probably an actor and a bad one who ended up needing to whore himself for batteroo to make $500.

It is the guy who did the dumb video with nose and glasses mask last month.

You can find him by copying the title of the video and go to YT and search on it.  It seems this is his second video.

Yeah, Batteroos are hot, all right.....

If this guy makes enough money to hire an interior decorator, it was all worth it.

The fashion police have probably already kicked his door in and taken him away.

And this seller is the only one offering them in Europe and still not sold.
And since no one needs them for testing purpose anymore, they will probably not sell at all.

Between 0:06 and 0:16 he says:

"It's a sleeve that wraps around the battery which you then put in your device, and with micro circuitry, draws every last little bit of electricity out of that device"


er,  that should charge the battery up nicely!!  No wonder the batteries last 8x longer..........   

[djos]

draws every last little bit of electricity out of that device

Well he's sort of half right, he just left out the bit explaining how it's not 100% efficient and therefore is wasting the energy in the battery and as a result it isn't available to the device you are trying to power.
