These people are engineers, where are the datasheets, graphs and efficiency curves?
Quote: 'Batteriser increases sales in Denmark region'
...independent American testing laboratory UL has tested Batteriser on a Garmin GPS. With an ordinary battery GPS went out after an hour and 43 minutes while it with Batteriser in conjunction entire 10 hours and 12 minutes - exactly six times as long.
Batteriser comments on the Indiegogo campain:
"Relax old man. I'm half your age and twice your strength..." and
"I will check it (customers physical strength) out myself. I'm also willing to bet you probalby smell like the dumpsters in Milpitas...."
What the
Seriously ??
Really ?
No, no, no, noooo professional company would ever ever ever do this. Not even remotely. That is beyond insane
If an employee of a decent run company would post such a comment online the next comment would be an apology
What is more interesting is that the circuit doesn't work at all on the low voltage side of the maximum power point.
This is because the boost converter tries to draw more current, the voltage goes down, it tries to draw even more current etc. until the terminal voltage of the cell is zero volts and there is no power in the load.
I submit that it is simply not possible to build a Batteriser that will allow more than about 800mA from a half depleted AA cell.
...
Now if I introduce a Batteriser. I have been very generous and given the Batteriser a conversion efficiency of 95%. The output voltage is being held constant at 1.4V

The PCB looks like it's made of corrigated cardboard too
McBryce.Laminated phenolic - not fibreglass cheap old style, china low-cost.

I know he's being trolled, but he should recognize this and show some ounce of professionalism, it's ridiculous.
it looks more like corrigated cardboard to me too, hand coloured green.

I have no idea what it means but it sure made me laugh.
It looks like that whole exchange of comments on the Batteriser Indieggo between Ali R is now gone.
Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in this company, does it. I am just hoping that some of you who ordered the product for the sake of testing its false claims will eventually get it. Some tests results would be nice to put it to bed once and for all.

Yep, they deleted everything, both Ali's comments and those of the backers.
This ability makes IGG a joke.
Also, they can't even date the updates and comments, that's just bullshit.
Our team has been hard at work completing final development of Batteriser and moving into initial production. 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.
I wouldn't be surprised if this whole Batteriser bungle didn't bring IGG to it's knees - or at the very least to stimulate legal requirements for CF campaigns. It's in IGGs interest to call Batteroo to the tabe to discuss the effect om their (IGG) image as a legitimate CF player.
No need to worry about that, it will be a mad scramble to publish full efficiency curves, real tests with dozens of products including the infamous Golf GPS.
The game will be completely up once they ship.
The stainless sleeve looks nice. The rest of the design strategy remains to be seen. At all.
Give them a break, "the possibilities are endless"! A CarBatteriser could be next!
