Interesting that it's a mechanical design and not an electronic solution, which was my first intuition.
One interesting thought: is the lack of battery installation diagram going to cause consternation in consumers who are by now very accustomed to battery installation diagrams?
- schn 16y agoThey can just use a placebo.
- woadwarrior01 16y agoThat was the first thing which came to my mind as well. I thought they've probably got a bridge of schottky diodes for every battery. The mechanical design makes it seem very elegant.If it were a schottky bridge, it'll still have a forward drop of ~0.3 - 0.45 volts, which is pretty big for 1.5 volts batteries.
