A little gadget that gets more bang out of your battery. Would be really usefull in those portable gaming devices we like to use 
. It says it'll boost your battery up to 800%
I'm guessing most of us have a bag full of half empty batteries laying about...
We'll see, it's supposed to launch in september after an indigogo.

Huh, definitely a cool concept. Although I would want to see an actual test to see if it really increases it, and also if it won't set m house on fire :3

That would be a plus, yes...
800% what? Battery life? Voltage? This thing is obviously a scam.
Isn't this just a commercial version of the joule theif? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_thief
Dave Jones knows whats up... He is the man. Love his channel so much.
Thats why I only run my handhelds on cold fusion.

Hell yeah, I think it's funny how his voice is like a Shepard tone when he gets excited. Gets increasingly high pitch but it stays the same hahaha.
But yeah, I don't really buy it either. I bet there's a way to get batteries to be more efficient but really don't know if this'd be the way to do it.
Glad someone looked into this.
It's one of those "if it sounds too good to be true" things....
