Plan B: See if 3000 batterisers in series-parallel can jump start a car!

Like this?

He looks (and acts) like one of my ex-boss'es cousins, and if anyone could be expected to have a batteriser accidentally explode in their trouser pocket, they could!

I still dont understand how a product advertised to deliver 2A initially? then lowered to 500mA, can pass FCC testing at 1.5mA and be legit???

its like testing idling plane engine for fuel consumption
edit: bad analogy, its like testing idling plane engine for effective perceived noise level (EPNL)

News from Batterpoo:

" We hired some new engineering staff, ex Volkswagen, who have come up with some proven ways to increase design efficiency under the standardised test conditions"

VW Engineers? So it will output 2Amps on a test fixture, but only 200mA when used in an everyday situation?

McBryce.

Maybe it uses a miniture Diesel engine...

And what will be their next excuse? Those battery companies stole the plans?

Will anybody be happy with the finished product?

I think we all know the answer to that question!

I am sad. I just had to replace the batteries in my wireless mouse. Had this product shipped on time, I could have had another 4-6 years of productive mousing. Instead, I had to spend a $1 on new batteries.

Damn you, big battery, damn you to hell!

ANON: "During the search for 'prior art', our patent attorneys have found a product that challenges the Batteriser ever being patented - or indeed sold in conflict with that prior patent lodgement."

ANON: "Batteroo's legal team have advised that if we proceed with promotion, sales and/or distribution of the Batteriser in any of its existing forms, we will be liable to damages action from the holder of that original filing. We regret to inform that as of this date, the Batteriser project has officially ceased to exist. We would like to thank our backers and the Batteroo team for their commitment and hard work to realise our hopes, and wish you a Merry Christmas (we'll certainly enjoy ours!)."

For those that are a bit full of Christmas 'cheer' (or really thick) - this post is 'tongue-in-cheek'...

Maybe those without any electronics knowledge.

No. If this is true, they are about to get sued for every cent they own.

I was so excited to see this revolutionary power source. Moment of silence.

On Facebook:

More deliberately vague weasel words:

"ship out for the New Year"

turns out to mean

"We will be shipping out at the beginning of the new year"

with no indication which New Year they're referring to.

I only got onto Facebook to follow the Mars rover, Curiosity - otherwise I avoid it like the plague. On rare occasions there is something almost worth reporting ... such as this.

If they actually had the units ready to ship you can bet your bottom dollar Bob would be crowing about on Idiegogo, show photos etc.
But no, just a vaguely worded update on Facebook.

And then they'll accidentally use a carrier that takes another year to deliver (true story)!! Whoops!
