Now we know their sales figures:
Over $500k in sales.
Given that $395k came from the IGG campaign, they have only been able to achieve an extra $100k in sales. It's a flop.
You can't sustain the wages of all the top people they have with only $500k in sales.
"since it's recent introduction"? Apparently they can't hire a copyeditor either.
Bizarre, he doesn't know what he's bought but claims to have saved $550
.
But, according the list of backers he only paid $60.
Is he the Roohparvar's plastic surgeon?

Oops, I read that wrong, he
might have plonked down $1k, but didn't.

Me too. However, according to the backers list; jasonbmoss has actually paid $1,005
OMG!
Some things never change.
Who wants to bet that they will post an update soon?, saying something like:
"Good news everyone! We've decided to extend the availability of the
Early Bird Complete Product beyond the first 48 hours."...
Not suggesting any commercial relationship, but if anyone else wants to look around, Richard Tholen MD in Minnesota, is also into the VC/Angel business.
I wonder...?
Woohoo! Next law suite will come from Sanyo/Panasonic for unauthorized use of the Eneloop brand in their marketing!
Woohoo! Next law suite will come from Sanyo/Panasonic for unauthorized use of the Eneloop brand in their marketing!
Everyone: Drop the Eneloop / Panasonic customer service a line, asking why they endorse such a crappy product since Eneloop was affiliated with quality cells at decent prices, but now no one can be sure about the companies degree of expertise anymore.
Done. Let's see if they are in any way interested in that.
https://www.panasonic.com/global/consumer/battery/eneloop/technologies.htmlWhat’s the difference between 1.5 V and 1.2 V?
answer
1.5 V is the nominal voltage for dry batteries, and nickel-metal hydride batteries (such as eneloop) have a nominal voltage of 1.2 V. Dry batteries have a slightly higher voltage than the actual working voltage required by the appliance. Though the nickel-metal hydride battery is 1.2 V, nickel-metal hydride batteries are able to provide similar performance to standard dry batteries. Basically, almost all appliances that require a dry battery can also use Ni-MH battery. Please be aware, though, of exceptional cases where only dry batteries can be used.
Look at Eneloops graphs
Their 1.2V is closer from 1.5 than from 1.0V. They also cherrypick the 500mA current for the AA where the Alkaline is over the top, where the Eneloop is far from the max current. At 100-200mA discharge, the Alkaline wins with 3Ah :

These comments look totally legit
Yes, not shills at all.
Not only that but the "norouzian family" have just, apparently, bought $1500 worth of this nonsense.
From Vahid's LinkedIn ....
Yup, deffo not a shill
These comments look totally legit
To be fair, the fake commenter was right about one thing, it
will change the battery industry (albeit ever so slightly)... it'll ensure that "big battery" will sell more product because uneducated or unsuspecting people are using the batteriser and chewing through more batteries than they would without the sleeve.

Most devices aren't designed to work with rechargeable batteries; using them together damages the battery, and can even damage the device.
Ye gads! I never knew! I thought that there was perhaps a single digit percentage of (mainly old) devices that wouldn't work well with rechargeables, but now I know the truth!
20X brighter laser pointer? Weapons grade?
Indiegogo says making false claims aren't allowed. I'd bet a couple dozen links to test results would get them to shut this down. Right?
And their graphs at the bottom? I'd love to see the data they used for those. Of course when marketing does the research.....

I just love how they show leaking alkaline batteries when they say that in the video.
I'm going to throw out all 40 of my Eneloop batteries, now I know the truth also and they must be talking about Eneloop batteries since they show them in the video. I didn't know these are the rechargeable stuff that damage things.
Update:
.... and verified that it is feasible for manufacturing.
As if there was any doubt a device could be made. We will even give it credit for being able to do something.
There are, really, only two questions: Whether that "something" is worth doing - and - whether it will live up to the Marketing.
We are now officially arrow certified!
Seems a shame how they approached a $23B company - and only got certified by a pointy stick with feathers on the end.
Sometimes a capital letter changes the whole meaning.

Sadly, Big NiMh doesn't give a poop about you small customer. I wrote them two times, didn't get any answer from their "24 h support".
