Batteriser: expand the battery life of disposable batteries by 800%!

[samgab]

I for one, think the Batteriser is great and all it is claimed to be, and have bought a container load.

I tried the battery charging methods in this video

and it worked great, so I believe the Batteriser people too.

Remember: "It's called electrical tape because it conducts electricity".   

PS: All of the above is a load of crap, in case it wasn't obvious. 
So many flaws and specious arguments I can't even start addressing them all. I can't wait until someone sends Dave some of them to test.

It's a pisstake. He did a few of them, sadly doesn't make them anymore. Recommend watching them - they're absolutely hilarious and really, really well done.

When the units are delivered, does consumer law 'fit for purpose' apply?

it always applies to consumer good. Hardly anyone will bother to return them though.

As a follow-up. Looks like comments are open again on their videos.

But they have disabled thumbs since my video exposing the fake dislikes.

I suspect that whoever made the decision to go with that particular action (buying thumbs-downs) really didn't think you'd pick up on it, much less make a video exposing it. Naive perhaps?

Totally naive.
Any youtuber creator would pick up on it, let alone a professional youtuber.

They started refunding the Backers that doesn't want to wait any longer.
Like always some people think you can create a new product (even a not working as advertised one  ) in 3 months.

I see the Comments section of their crowdfunder is full of angry people waiting on delivery or who only got partial refunds.

They got sued by Energizer

 In the court document you can read via that link they said they would be shipping their product in March. Though it too did not specify the year.
 And note the timeline, now they have enough excuses to run this out past next year.

Interesting, the complaint however is more a trademark dispute, similarity of the names could suggest Batterizer is associated with Energizer.  Energizer's complaint note that the Batteriser name and its actual function are not descriptive of what it does and could be deceptive.

They begun to ship it, looks like the user experience is great so far.

It is incredible that it boost up to 99% from 54% after plug in

 

And if you put a small circuit to fake the readings from the fuel level sensor in your car your gas gauge would read full too, that doesn't mean it actually is...

What gets me is the company does nothing to stop this misinformation, in fact they seem to be actively encouraging it.

Why should they? Their entire business model is built around it.
