Well, it may not be worth paying for, and it may have limited usefulness, but it isn't snake oil - it does maintain a higher average voltage over the life of the battery. And it doesn't seem to be consuming more than it's saving. And it may be old hat to you guys, but I'm actually quite impressed that you can fit the regulator into that small a package - even if it's not that useful, it's quite a neat design.
but the useable life is shortened. And active devices that already have a DC>DC converter built in them will see no benefit other than shorter duration and wonko battery guage
I don't want to defend something that seems to me to be pretty useless, but criticisms need to be rational. The usable life is only shortened if you are happy to have a long life with a low voltage - sometimes maybe that's what you want, but sometimes it definitely isn't. And all those devices with a DC-DC converter in them are also often poorly designed and will often have a higher dropout voltage, so this contraption might do some good in those - batteriser don't have a monopoly on over-hyped electronics. Anyway, I wouldn't pay for one. just saying it isn't snake oil.
"Batteroo: Extend Battery Life Significantly" is the claim and it is very clear, so if it doesn't do this.... it is snake oil.
What's interesting is that the area under the curve, which is basically how much total energy each battery output, is almost the same. Without the Batteriser, it's 221495 lux⋅min and 219662 lux⋅min with it. That's a difference of < 1%.
I think everybody that thinks knew these would be the results, just another boost-converter, cleverly packaged. At least Kaparnik and Mtchell should be happy.
good thing using an analogy reading by a Lux meter.
virkelig godt tænkt 😀
Hi ! I guess you should mesure the efficiency of the converter at different currents. The same test as you did for the clock but at let's say 1mA, 10mA, 100mA, 500mA.
Did that already :) Will come in the next episode :)
If it had worked on the oldstyle flashlight it could have bin useful for prolonging the life of the outdated technology.
But the functionality is already build in to more modern led flashlight.
So even trying to use absolutely best case scenario it is a totally fail.
That's very true....
Seems to me that a better use case is if you used rechargeable batteries in this application it would boost the voltage without the current sag of depleted batteries powering it.
YT algos like comments these days apparently, so - have a comment! :D
Snake oil from the first mention of this because you can't get something for nothing in this world.
