Don't ask a question if you aren't willing to listen to the answer.

This guy claims he has received his shipment, but he could just be a Roohparvar shill.



LOL!
He's a mate of Bob's!
Worked at Flextronics!  :-DD

And I think "Hibbo" might be fake - he was the one who asked back in January about using Batterisers in electric cars (deleted but still in Google cache)
https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BBaiAaUB7FQJ:https://www.facebook.com/Batteriser/posts/958596294188021+&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au&client=firefox-b

Well spotted.
So the first to report getting one just happens to be Bob's former work colleague, and the 2nd is questionable.

I've got to admit that I'm amazed at this projects ability to continuously deliver in stupidity, drama and intrigue! It is our industries soap opera.

Maybe "Hibbo" has bought the entire shipment to use on his Tesla car?  That would explain why no one else in the world has received any...!  :-DD

Hi,

Maybe they are related? This could just be a case of 'Bob's your uncle'.  :-//

[That used car salesman smirk smile looks very familiar]

Hibbo = Hi Bob

I am just amazed that we have no photographs. A couple of photographs would really help at this time.

Regards,

Jay_Diddy_B

Another supposed report of arrival, again on Facebook:


Sounds pretty vague, and that user last posted on Facebook in Feb 2014  ::)

So the first three reports are either vague/suspect, or connected to Bob personally. What are the odds?

So that's now two working weeks since the shipping announcement and not a single delivery?
And remember, in the same post they indicated that they thought some people would have already gotten them  :-//
Maybe the first  people that received them were required to sign an NDA?

What I have heard, it is not that unusual that sometimes the containers may get lost or fall off a ship.
I can see it now...:  "Sorry guys we lost all of our Batteroo sleeves because some Somali pirates took over the container ship they were on and are demanding ransom.. It's gonna take us a few more months to get the insurance rebate and for the shipping company to pay the ransom. We need to talk to our insurance company to get our money back to be able to start making some more Batteroo sleeves to replace the lost sleeves. Stay tuned..." :lol: :lol:

Of the 2 visitor posts to Rudy's for 2012, one is from a relative of Hibbo, so we can assume Hibbo and Rudy are connected or probably the same person.

Hibbo's facebook is also remarkably sparse with very, very few posts and "friend" comments

EDIT: compared with 3 hours ago, hibberoo's page is now completely blank except for a profile pic.  Previously there were more random photos of some guy with a couple comments.  All of which only existed after November last year

... for anybody that has half an idea of how this technology works.

However, it's just the sort of fodder that the sensationalist media and clueless masses will consume with relish.

That Appnoon mob are still pumping them out, there are no new pictures that I could find from Batteroo so perhaps their camera batteries are flat.   :palm:



What I don't understand with their logic, who in 2015, 2016 are still using a camera that use alcaline battery?
Who in 2015,2016 use remote control car that use alcaline battery?

My last remote controlled car was using a pack of NiMh battery, it was long time ago, and they werent individual cells, and it was long time ago (before 1995).
My last camera that used battery was made in early 2000 and I used rechargeable lithium battery in as yes, alcaline is not suited for such device.

But nowadays, 90% of the devices that was using NiMh pack or some AA/AAA batteries are now using Lithium based battery...
When you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective.

Perhaps someone in the US (as that is where the shipments have gone out to is seems) should post saying they arrived, but are not working as well as expected... be interesting to see the response to that.
