Not sure why they don't use Kickstarter? they obviously have a real prototype, so satisfies the requirement. --- End quote --- Only reason I can think of is that Indiegogo, iirc, lets you receive funds even if your goal isn't reached. |

As Dave already mentioned, they won't have any problems reaching whatever goal they establish, so I don't think they'll need IGG flexible funding. Maybe IGG takes a lower cut? |

They claim that most device will not work if the battery voltage drops below 1.4 or 1.3V. Then they show you how with their batteriser, all devices display full battery again. Which is 1.5V for alkalines. We don't want to nitpick here if they use 1.45V or 1.55V, but it will be something around 1.5V. |
