EEVblog #751 - How To Debunk A Product (The Batteriser)

[ccs46]

Last week while I was busy killing off a few Energizer alkaline batteries with and without a batteriser clone, I found this under my desk whilst rummaging for a Coiltronics six winding transformer...

A dead bat:-

What the hell???

I'm pretty sure their facebook page was just done as a piss take, to keep us all amused.

I wonder how long it will take for this to be cleansed...

Edit: Not very Long...

i bet methodes 1,2 and 4 are better at it than 3

[ErikTheNorwegian]

Batteriser is now also a charger? Yes..right, and the world is flat!

[_Andrew_]

Will batteriser ever get to Australia or will they be too in fear of sailing off the edge of the earth trying to deliver them.

Although if they use unicorns to deliver them it all should be OK.

It's the most anticipated episode of the EEVblog so far! 800% more than Dave's regular videos in fact ;-)

I'll add an option 5 - Sitting on it.

Nothing like a little body heat to give the chemistry a bit of a nudge.

Unlike Batterisers claims, that one might be plausible!

I must have missed this before, but it seems Batteriser has been on Wikipedia since October 2015: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batteriser

There is clearly an edit made by an anonymous user (Roohparvar's or "Fan Page" perhaps?) which boasts about the "UL testing". I'll let you sift through the history to find that one.

First mention of that I think.
I don't think it's going to last on there long, isn't it just blatant product advertising?

[rrinker]

The UL mention was rolled back in October as being promotional in nature. So yeah, gonski.

[SpidersWeb]

Good lord, I can't believe these haven't even started shipping yet. "Ready for the new year" my ass.

[Cyberdragon]

Guys, guys, guys...the reason the Batterisers aren't shipping is because they actually come from the dimension and planet Outer Zone. They're having trouble getting supplies of Morotanium converters which channel the untapped magical energy around the batteries and convert it to usable electricity. 

P.S...soon...this will happen...

Meanwhile we're all waiting at Twilight Limits.

It was obvious what was up as soon as the stream of weasel words started appearing in December.

eg. "We expect to have a clearer picture of the situation next week"

 

(Grab a phone and ask them today...?)

[meeder]

The week is almost over ;-)

Just be glad they aren't Brazilians, or Carnival would be an excuse for pushing the deadline another week... or 2 if you consider recovering from the massive hangover.   

[WN1X]

Maybe they are Brazilian Chinese? Lol

They are probably still recovering from the Australia Day long weekend ;-)

March...

March........

Does anybody have something happening in March?

*checks diary* It seems Easter long weekend falls in March this year. So I guess we won't be hearing from Roohparvar from the time Hot Cross Buns start hitting supermarket shelves to well after Easter. That should write off most of March and April. Someone should start a Batteriser advent calendar, but instead of a surprise, you just get disappointment. ;-)

Easter stuff was on the supermarket shelves in January here. I was disgusted. There were no 2 for 1 offers on easter eggs.

[Halcyon]

Do you think perhaps Batteriser are planning an April fools gag? Like they've completed production and will begin shipping?
