Charging revolution?

Is this genius or what?

I suppose there is a translation problem here. Surely, they don't mean that you can use disposable batteries to charge rechargeable batteries, or do they? :thinking:

That would be kinda neat. You could just recharge your rechargeable cells with rechargeable cells and just keep swapping them back and forth. You'd never need to buy batteries! :thumbsup: Sorta like perpetual motion. I like it!

The brand name speaks volumes. Naive-Tek.

 

[sqchram]

Oh My God.

hey guys! just imagine - if we recharged rechargeable batteries with rechargeable batteries, then used those to charge the rechargeable batteries that were used to recharge the rechargeable batteries....


are you thinking what i'm thinking? FREE ENERGY!!!

I think this invention might have just solved the world energy crisis!!!

holy crap! this is like one of the greatest moments of mankind.. I .. I don't even know how to react!

Solar Powered Self-Recharging USB Battery, I dont know if theyre any good Im going to buy one, some have flash lights. 2000mah battery.

I use a Solio H1000 to charge my Ipod touch.

That means that I charge a lithium ion cell with solar power so that I can charge the lithium ion cell in a Ipod touch with the lithium ion cell in the solar charger. I wonder if the recycled photons taste any better to the Ipod touch after being converted to electron pressure and filtered through a couple of batteries?

Where in the world did you find this thing? This could be a candidate for the most useless device of the century!

I like the "Uses up to 1000 disposable batteries." I want to know how you connect 1,000 batteries to that thing... or maybe it is one at a time. If it's one at a time, why not 2,000 or 10,000? :thinking:

Also! So, you use a 9 volt battery to charge 2 AA's or AAA's, certainly a 9 volt battery doesn't contain as much energy as two AA's or two AAA's... and the whole thing is timer controlled, so what happens to the timer when you take the 9 volt battery out? The only thing it could do to keep the correct time is to run off of the batteries you're charging, but I doubt it is smart enough to stop counting when the 9 volt dies or you take the 9 volt out.

Battery powered battery charger: Hobby charger.:thinking:

FYI: this picture has been floating around the internet since last April.

Duracell 9V alkaline battery:

9V x 580mAh = 5220 mA-volt-hours

2x Eneloop AA:

1.2V x 4000mAh = 4800 mA-volt-hours

2x Eneloop AAA:

1.2V x 1500mAh = 1800 mA-volt-hours

...this, of course, doesn't take into account any circuit efficiency losses...

Photoshop?
(The text is remarkably well aligned to vertical/horizontal)
Still, if that's the case, it's a damn good job.

"Recommended by powercell manufacturers"

Yes, I'll bet it is.

I have a Maha charger with a 12V cigarette lighter cord that I connect to my car battery. Does this count as a "battery powered battery charger?"

Surely SOMEONE on this board recognizes the actual device this was photoshopped from.

Looks like "BATTERY POWERED" was photoshopped in.

"AA/AAA rapid charger, 4 channel, timer controlled circuit, front, back" look real. Then there's "charger" to the right along with something illegible. There are pictures of a camera, MP3/CD/walkman thing and a cell phone.

Interesting.

I'd wonder what wasn't photoshopped in.

Looks like it might have said 'Ultra?? Fast Charger' on the text to the left of the label, but I guess that doesn't help tracking down the source.

Looks pretty clearly like 'Us' looks like it's been written over the 'Sav' of an existing 'Saves up to 1000...', but the colour/drop shadow was wrong, which is a shame given how good the bulk of the text is.

What makes you think it's just one product, and not two joined together?

The jokes just about write themselves, don't they? :naughty:
