Regarding efficiency, you should simply add the batterizer thing only after your new batteries became "dead" for your appliance. This way you use the normal run of the battery at 100% efficiency, and everything extracted after that is pure gain.
- asddubs 11y agothat's pretty fiddly and impractical though. By the time the batteries are dead, the batteriser will be long lost in some drawer
- cmwright 11y agoThis may be naive, but would it be possible for the voltage booster to only start 'boosting' after the battery falls under a certain voltage threshold? That would be seem to solve both of your concerns.
- tlrobinson 11y agoBut then you would of course need circuitry to measure the voltage and switch the booster on, and it wouldn't know what the correct threshold is.
- 3JPLW 11y agoThe trouble is that the battery doesn't know the voltage requirements of the device it's powering. Should it start boosting at 1.4V? Or 1.25V? I have a hunch that it already does this for voltages near 1.5. The trouble is determining where you draw the line.
- wodenokoto 11y agoThat's easy. You license the batteriser technology to the gadget creators, they build it into their gadget and set the limit!
- granos 11y agoBut they don't control the IP for the actual boost circuitry. Thats trivially easy to do. And from the comments in this thread it seems like lots of electronics already do it.
- gfsn54nsf 11y agoSimple: Use the device until the batteries fail, then slip on the Batterizer[TM] and use it some more.
- danmaz74 11y agoHow about keeping it together with your batteries?
- mangecoeur 11y agowell assuming you can at least keep track of your possessions, I don't see how this is less convenient than having to put in new batteries.
