In that case, their 800% increase can be true, 90 seconds instead of 10 seconds use. |

The 800% extension is possible for a hypothetical device which cuts out near the 1.5V battery voltage. I don't have such a device, but maybe there exists one in a dark corner of the world. |

| Galenbo:
As many devices already have a boost converter inside, how do multiple stages of boost converters behave combined? I have very bad expieriences with that (another tech field), especially when at least one isn't designed for it, and the load goes up and down. |
