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..

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

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

Damn! That's some high dollar eneloop $hit!

 

[Mr Happy]

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
