Examining Alkaline Voltage Boosters

Are you looking for new ways to get more power out of your alkaline batteries? Military Technology might have some good news for you. A recent article in Military Technology titled "COMPANY EXTENDS ALKALINE BATTERY LIFE WITH VOLTAGE BOOSTER” discusses this.

The author of the piece writes, "Batteroo is a Silicon Valley company preparing to release its Batteriser product in September. The Batteriser is a small sleeve that fits around alkaline batteries to boost the voltage to 1.5V. This means that batteries that would otherwise be thrown into the trash when the voltage dips to 1.3V or 1.4V could be used until the unboosted voltage reaches 0.6V, extending the useful life of a battery 8x, according to the company. This product has the potential to reduce the number of batteries in landfills as well as increasing the time between replacing batteries. The expected price of the sleeve is $10 for a pack of 4 sleeves.”

Meanwhile, another battery life extending gadget claims to boost battery life 800%. Boing Boing reports on this in a recent article titled "Can a $2.50 gadget extend alkaline battery life by 800%?” Rob Beschizza of Boing Boing writes, "It Betteridge! Jon Phillips reports on the Batteriser, a metal sleeve promising ‘up to’ 8X more life from disposable batteries. It’s essentially a voltage booster that sucks every last drop of useable energy from ostensibly spent batteries. So, instead of using just 20 percent of all the power hidden inside of your Duracells and Energizers, Batteriser makes effective use of the remaining 80 percent. Voltage boosters are nothing new, but Batteriser scales down the technology to the point where it can fit inside a stainless steel sleeve less than 0.1 mm thick. Roohparvar says the sleeves are thin enough to fit inside almost every battery compartment imaginable, and the combined package can extend battery life between 4.9x for devices like remote controls and 9.1x for various electronic toys.”
