Nanotech Brings Battery Life Extender for Mobiles

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the extended-play dept.

An anonymous user writes "Using latest nanotechnology research, BatMax developed the first cellphone battery life booster that extends the mobile phone battery life and reduces charging time. BatMax is based on the IonXR, a new exclusively developed nanoceramic material, resulting from years of laboratory research. BatMax foil slows down the loss of capacity of Ni-CD, Ni-MH, Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries and thus provides improved battery performance. BatMax is a small (1.14 x 1.92 in) rectangular sticker which is installed on the mobile phone battery. Users just need to attach BatMax to the battery or the cellphone. They claim users will notice a battery life improvement after 5 to 10 charging cycles."

    I note the following:
    1. A technical description that sounds like dialog on Star Trek Voyager.
    2. No phone number anywhere on the batmax.com site.
    3. The terms & conditions instruct you to send returns to an incomplete address:


    4. BatMax Corporation
      Miami FL
      USA

    You be the judge. This sounds like something in the realm of the fake cell-phone antenna extenders.

    Stick a sticker on a battery to extend its life ? Someone needs to get a life.

    but what's more astonishing, Roland Piquepaille didn't submit this one! Remarkable.
