"Batteriser can continue to deliver a 1.5 volt charge in batteries that have discharged down to 0.6 volts. There are more than eight 0.1 volt steps between 0.6 and 1.5 volts, so, in grossly simplified terms, the Batteriser can extend operational battery life somewhere around a factor of eight."

No. That's not how maths works.




They explained right after that how you get more amp-hours at each voltage step. The math works for that, though I don't think it fits the actual behavior of the discharge curve past 1.1 volts...


No, the alkaline battery companies decades ago figured out how to do controlled quantum discharge! It goes instantly from 1.5v to 1.4v to 1.3v!
