A Cool Invention that Saves you Money and Frustration
Have you ever had a battery die on you at the most critical time? I am sure it’s happened to all of us. I always thought to myself, in the 21st century, why can’t we have a battery that lasts several times longer than the current battery lives? So I went on Google as I usually do, and searched for possible solutions to this dilemma. What I found was the same “new and improved” alkaline batteries that can operate anywhere from a few hours to tens of hours on continuous use, depending on the application. The other search results were about rechargeable batteries. Though these two solutions have been very useful to all of us over the years, no truly groundbreaking paradigm shift in battery technology has been introduced to make batteries last longer. However, recently, I was happy to discover the website batteroo.com, because batteroo actually had something totally new and very exciting to offer. It was not a new herculean battery, but rather a sleeve you place on your old standby batteries. The Batteroo sleeve can provide from three to six times battery life and saving you the frustrations of a dead battery at the wrong time. With the extra battery life, you’re less likely to get stuck running in the woods while listening to your favorite tunes with nowhere to buy new batteries. You’ll also save money since you save three to six times the cost of buying fresh batteries, and on top of that, Batteroo is reusable.
At first glimpse I wondered how that was possible. Energy cannot be created, so what was I missing? I went on reading and the website content was a great revelation to me. It goes like this; every alkaline battery is considered dead by the appliance that is using it once its terminal voltage goes below 1.1V. The amazing fact is that there is still plenty of energy left in the battery, but the converter on the appliance cannot access it because the voltage is too low. The smart scientists and engineers at Batteroo came up with the idea of a very tiny boost converter that you can attach to the battery while maintaining its overall dimensions within spec. This smart boost converter can operate at a very high efficiency down to 0.6V and converts it to operating voltages anywhere between 1.2V – 1.5V for optimum performance and life.
These patented sleeves were submitted to UL (Underwriters Laboratories) to verify the conclusions reached by Batteroo designers when operating their sleeve on batteries used in a Garmin GPS. The results were amazing, here are the conclusions from the UL report
Test without Batteriser: Test was terminated at 1 hour 43 minutes due to Garmin GPS shutting down.
Test with Batteriser: Test was terminated at 10 hours 12 minutes due to Garmin GPS shutting down.
Here is a link to the report: https://www.batteroo.com/downloads/Batteroo_ULReport_GPSDevice.pdf
This is a whapping 594% longer life. That means for this application’s owners of this sleeve will receive $5.94 worth of performance for every $1 they spend on batteries. Not a bad deal at all.

To no surprise, this smart sleeve was very positively featured on PCWorld, CNNMoney and Reuters amongst others. Once I read the contents of this website, I decided to share it with my network on LinkedIn. Enjoy and save!

7yWatch this testing video on a mouse. The Batteriser gives it 1% extra run time! 26days without Batteriser, 6 hours extra with the Batteriser. Practically useless.
It may "work" in a cheap, low power device that has no built in boost converter. Beyond that...
