Since we have seen now that products work with a lower battery voltage, cant we design a working one ?
Basically... it would have to lower the voltage of the battery to slow the current so that products work on their minimum voltage rating. This should cause the products to work for their minimum current for their entire life span ?
So like, a 1.1 volt voltage regulator in series with the battery ? and the total power saved throughout the life of the battery should be 1/R * int([V(t)^2 - 1.1^2] dt) where V(t) is the battery voltage function over time.
Thoughts?
