small and cheap device extends battery run time ordinary eight times. The secret lies in a miniature electronic circuit podwyższającym tension.

The idea of ​​American engineers Batteroo startup is fairly simple – the majority of batteries we throw away is still a good supply of energy. The problem is that electrical consider them to be used when the voltage drops below a certain level. In the case of AA batteries (“sticks”) is typically 1.2 V – 1.3 V. As specialists say Batteroo, at that moment a small backup battery is in itself still approx. 80 per cent. Of energy.

Gadgets called Batteriser is able to use this energy, increasing the voltage to the required level. As a result, flashlights, radios, remote controls, drivers for consoles, cameras, etc. recognize that the batteries are “fresh”.

Similar devices have been known in advance, so that their size They did it unsuitable for use in rescuing ordinary batteries. The Batteriser is so small that it will fit inside the battery compartment any device. It looks like a “cover” for batteries made from thin sheet.

– Batteriser is an electronic system that raises the voltage of 0.6 V to 1.5 V and preserves them for some time. Just as happens This is true for ordinary batteries taken out of the package – says Bob Roohparvar magazine “PC World”. – The secret lies in the fact that we were able to miniaturized the system in a way that no other.

In confirmation of his words Roohparvar demonstrated the operation of the gadget with batteries Removed from the wireless keyboard to your Apple computer. First keyboard refused to cooperate by showing a lack of power. But when the same cells Roohparvar placed in Batteriserach – Keyboard signaled to charge 100 percent. The effect of the use of these devices also confirmed in tests Parvin Kiumars from the University of San Jose.

Batteriser probably hit the market in September this year. For now, you can support the idea on crowdfundingowym Indiegogo. Roohparvar announced that a set of four “covers” the battery will cost approx. $ 10. The devices are reusable and, of course, have to fit different sizes of batteries and rechargeable batteries.
