This is clearly just a kid, doesn't know any better nor is he an expert in any meaningful way. I would just leave him alone and focus on understanding what can and can't be done with state-of-the-art DC-DC converters. It looks like about 5% to 10% increased battery life is possible in some circumstances. If that was their claim, that would have been Ok. But 800% is beyond ridiculous.
Sorry, but I'm not of the opinion that people involved with scams taking 6 figures and up out of people who don't know better should be left alone in any respect.
This kid is not involved. He is just a friend of the son of the "inventor". He is excited about the idea of working in this company and he has invested a lot of emotion and pride in it. He is otherwise not involved.
The focus should be in representing the truth to the public and addressing those who actually are making the claims.
Yup. Please, just leave the kids alone. They are defending their parents and friends' parents. That's natural and understandable. I am certain that this young man truly believes in this product.
I have addressed Bob directly in these posts because it is acutely obvious that he is reading them and responding on the Batteroo and Indiegogo sites. Still, we must be respectful. I apologize if my lighthearted jabs precipitated any decline in behavior into personal attacks.
So, please oh please, do not tussle with their friends or family members! It's just not right. Let's elevate the discussion.
