Pee in your batteries?

[guiri]

Alright boys, can someone go into detail about this and tell us if this is a good thing? I mean, how well it works, how much power and all that.

Well their specs are there, 60mA - 300mA max, 0.6Ah - 1.6Ah capacity.

The only thing worth mentioning is the 10 year shelf life, which is probably achieved through having the "electrolyte" injected right before use.

Sounds like a terrible idea. Urine has organic components, which will break down and smell terrible.

Carrot! No one said you HAD to pee in the battery. It was an OPTION! :)

Yeah, saw the specs but was hoping someone here had tried some. I like the idea but don't like the fact that they can only be used 5 times :(

Mind you, a little development and maybe this can be an every day thing. Too cool.

Spit in your batteries and keep going. Sweet!

Can be charged up to five times!

I remember reading a story a year or so ago that battery sized fuel cells (worked on a rubbing alcohol type liquid) were in development. Still waiting..:popcorn:

I hope now with all the environment problems there will be newer and more efficient (and cheaper) batteries coming up, like these.

I think this is too cool

#1 is apparently OK to refill the batteries with, but not #2. It even says so on the batteries if you use a little artistic license: NoPoPo :crackup:

If you have a few $$$'s to spare, try putting "eneloop" into the search box... :D

Yes, but which CPF member could resist one of these?

Hey, that was actually pretty cool.

Did you see the jacka$$ trying to take pics of it with his phone when it was on the lowest setting? Hehehe
