For the record, screen captures of their absurd and embarrassing straw man claim about my using a PSU to determine the product cutout voltage:
[..]
Discussing the EEVBlog video, he says: “I think he’s a good guy. I think he just didn’t know enough.”
Yahoo Makers was only able to try out the Batteriser briefly in our offices.
In the end, of course, neither the company’s claims nor the doubters’ blogs and YouTube videos will determine the true potential of the Batteriser.
I am impressed at the price point they're able to achieve. Being an insider at Flextronics has its benefits.

$30,000 is a ridiculously low funding level. They already spent more then that making the pretty prototypes, making videos, etc. They're obviously doing this to attract bigger fish afterwards or something.
And I'm certain they are trying to sell the company. It's what they do: Build. Sell. Repeat.

What Batteriser think of me: “I think he’s a good guy. I think he just didn’t know enough.”
That's kindly
Guess I'll have to respond in kind showing how little he knows.

OMG!
Batteriser have finally admitted they were wrong and used the wrong voltage measurement to characterise their product!
They have changed the wording on their website completely to finally mention battery voltage under load, with a caveat that that related to 1.3V open circuit
But they still cling to their stupid 80% unused energy claim, and even use it in the same headline implying that an under load dropout voltage of now 1.1V still translates to 80% unused energy.
Oops, how embarrassing!
The silly thing is their claim is now even more demonstrably untrue!
Roohparvar says the critics ignore the differences in internal resistance between a battery and the equipment used to test voltages.
The important thing to test is to measure how long the toy can play with such test setup. This compared to the working time of a set of fresh batteries will, much better, show how much capacity is left in random dead batteries.
The fact that Batteriser guys did not show any data with tests similar to the above one already implied they are pulling a scam. Their video about the the keyboard showed full battery and, then, they skipped the important part, that is to show how long this full battery status lasted. Obviously, something they are trying to hide.
PHD - Piled Higher and Deeper.
Apple is already extracting a very practical amount of energy from their batteries and leaving enough headroom to help prevent leakage due to over-discharge.
After 5 years of development they still have not shown a single full discharge test comparison.
Aren't people going to be annoyed that their battery indicators have stopped working?
Mucking around with the battery-level indicator is a cute press demo but real users are going to be angry that the indicator is now useless and their keyboards are dropping dead unexpectedly (and the level indicator wasn't warning them to have some spare batteries around).
I predict that for every device that works better with a batteriser (and I admit there will be some!) there will be at least half a dozen which get shorter overall battery life.
