Take a guess.
- afandian 11y agoHere are my guesses: 1 - they already do 2 - the technology isn't actually sound or reliable or is only suitable in very specific cases 3 - it's too difficult to integrate 4 - the batteries aren't rated for it, or there's FCC regulations, or EMF problems or standards that prohibit it 5 - it makes batteries explode sometimes 6 - it makes batteries too unpredictable and makes monitoring even less accurate 7 - it doesn't provide enough current when in use 8 - there's some massive industry conspiracy and they'll be coming for your children next How'd I do?
- adlpz 11y ago9 - It's more expensive, the market won't tolerate a price rise on disposable batteries, they cannot sustain a 8x average life of their product at current prices.
- 5xman 11y ago0 - "Our technology is really a miniaturization technique that allows us to build the sleeve..., but the key is we’ve been able to miniaturize the boost circuit to a point that no one else has been able to achieve"
- blisterpeanuts 11y ago10 - Patent protection would add to the per-unit cost
- VLM 11y ago9 - draws too much current when not in use. Theres some icom radio battery holders that are "famously" active, you can run a portable mobile radio (think hand held police radio or ham radio) on 2 AA batteries but the upconverter runs 24x7 once the batteries are installed so in 6 months, even if never used, the batteries are dead and in a year they're leaking. Think of the remote control for a TV that dies annually no matter how much or little you use it, all the amphours went into standby losses, operation energy was a rounding error. You can't run an upconverter for free, although technology is improving etc etc. Of course lower losses imply higher impedances which generally result in higher static sensitivity. 10 - "everyone knows" overdrained batteries leak, cheaper ones worse than the expensive ones.
- pjc50 11y agoIt adds cost.
- afandian 11y agoOr that. That's probably it.
- raverbashing 11y ago1 - Not applicable to all devices 2 - Cost, as mentioned 3 - Some might already do it (probably down-convert the voltage to be used)
