$2.50 sleeve extends disposable battery life up to 8x
Batteriser has been developed to instantly tap into the remaining 80% of a disposable battery’s energy that is usually thrown away. The Batteriser sleeve can also be used with new alkaline batteries for similar savings and performance gains.
The device is based on an intelligent voltage management and delivery micro circuit that steps up the output voltage of a low battery. Batteroo is introducing the system in the format of a sleeve that makes contact with the positive and negative ends of a common battery to access untapped remaining energy at a steady state system voltage.
Batteriser, which is claimed to be the only device of its kind, will be available for AA, AAA, C, and D-cell batteries. Retail prices will start at under $10.00 for a four pack of Batteriser sleeves.
Batteroo Corporation was co-founded by Bob Roohparvar Ph.D., who holds more than 20 patents in his 30-year career. Roohparvar’s career spans power management, semiconductors, and consumer products. Dr. Roohparvar is a professor at California State University, East Bay, teaching computer science and computer engineering courses.
"Batteroo is the first to unleash existing unused power from a seemingly powerless battery, and by extending battery life by up to eight times, Batteriser pays for itself with the very first purchased pack," said Roohparvar. "Why throw away perfectly good batteries, or waste money buying new batteries, when we now have a technology that saves money, saves energy, and can cut the number of batteries that end up in landfills by more than half."
"When we get a new battery it is 1.5 volts, when we use it in a device it goes down to 1.3 volts under load condition, at that point we consider it to be dead and throw it away" said Dr. Kiumars Parvin, Professor of Physics at San Jose State University. "We tested the Batteriser sleeve in our lab and we confirmed that the Batteriser taps into the 80 percent of energy that is usually thrown away."
The $14 billion disposable battery market is estimated to be powering 5.4 billion battery-operated devices which consume 15 billion batteries annually worldwide. Approximately two percent of these batteries are disposed of properly. The rest are thrown away, leading to soil contamination and a laundry list of negative environmental impacts.
Roohparvar credits the innovation to Batteriser has been tested and proven compatible on a variety of battery-operated home and office gadgets, including wireless keyboards, noise cancelling headphones, Xbox and Wii controllers, TV remote controls, walkie-talkies, digital scales, electric toothbrushes, toys, portable radios, flashlights, and blood pressure monitors.
