If the original design could only do 500ma at 1.5volt output... what input voltage would it have needed to even do the 500ma? Obviously, it wouldn't still do 500ma down to whatever voltage they claimed the butteriser to work down to...
I am curious to know what sort of effect on ESR and battery chemistry there will be when multiple butterisers are used in series, each effectively using the batteries as a heatsink. Sure, at low power the heat generation will be marginal, but on higher loads surely there will be a significant temperature increase? Wont this just make things even worse?
and how do series connect dc-dc converters even behave in terms of voltage rail noise? 2 in series probably isn't much, but...... 4? .....6? or even the 8 in my RC car?

I'm sorry for the noobish questions
edit....whoa, what happened then. the forum saved my edit as a new post. feel free to delete.
Seriously, it's not a bad question at all, and I think we already discuss about that here in this same topic, but the idea is that it may fail miserably, with the noise generated & co.
But I don't know if some people ever done something like that before: putting DC2DC converter in series, so it maybe worth to try for science..

FFS. Does no media outlet bother to do even the slightest bit of fact checking?
I thought CNN were a proper news outfit, yet they state as fact that AA batteries have 80% energy remaining when they stop working. Arrrghhhh!

CNN Chicken Noodle News. Only good thing was the first Gulf war coverage, at least for us in the same time zone, it made for a good few interesting tea times and lunchtime viewing, mostly comparing how the systems worked, or just how badly some pilots were at hitting a static target.

(...) At this time, we have encountered a slight delay relating to the manufacturing of the Batteriser's integrated circuit (IC).
Our earlier proof of concept prototype IC could efficiently deliver 500 milliamps of steady state current. However, as many applications need higher current driving capabilities, we modified our Integrated Circuit (IC) design to make it capable of the higher level of current driving capability. We expected our final IC to be ready and out of the fabrication facility (FAB) over a month ago. However, due to a drift in process parameters, the IC is still being worked on by our engineering team, in order to be ready for mass production. Fortunately, we have been working diligently with the FAB to address and fix the issues responsible for this delay, and we are anxiously waiting to receive our final IC in the coming weeks. We are committed to producing your Batterisers with the highest quality standards. (...)
Just got an email from the batteriser team

So, long story short: Their prototype can only deliver 500mA and and they don't have an IC ready for production
