this Superior Equipment Protection
Feature
02/01/2005 08:46 PM
Fuji Novel Batteries, one of the largest manufacturers of batteries for portable electronics and digital cameras worldwide, is pleased to offer a specially engineered “reverse current protection” feature in its Fuji Novel D-Size and C-Size alkaline batteries. This feature actually blocks the completion of negative-to-negative current in batteries that are connected in series, thereby virtually eliminating potential damage and premature discharge from reverse current in incorrectly installed batteries.

Panasonic has announced a AA and AAA batteries that will last twice as long and will be on the market soon. Good news for all of us and this is a good move to preserve the environment. [LockerGn ome]


Building Better Batteries


Building Better Batteries 12/24/2004 12:29 PM
David Pescovitz: My latest article for TheFeature is about new battery designs for mobile devices, from an onboard nuclear trickle charger that harnesses radioactive energy to a microbattery made with the same techniques used to fabricate computer chips.
"In late 18th century, Italian physicist Luigi Galvani shocked the public by demonstrating that an amputated frog's leg twitched when touched with certain metals. Galvani was convinced that energy stored in the frog's leg caused the jerk. He called the accumulated juice "animal electricity." Galvani's friend Alessandro Volta called it nonsense. To prove that the energy came from the metal, not the flesh, Volta eventually made a sandwich of silver, moist cardboard, and zinc. His device also spurred frogs' legs to spasm. In the end, Volta won the intellectual battle and also invented the battery. Two hundred years later, the technology hasn't changed much."

They're even more environmentally friendly than other choices.

A look at iPod batteries


A look at iPod batteries 03/19/2005 03:27 AM
Since it’s debut in 2001, iPod users have had to contend with the thorny issue of battery replacement. Apple iPods are not unique in the world of rechargeable devices, writes Lance Ulanoff of PC Mag.com. All of the MP3 players on the market use rechargeable batteries, however some are designed for easy battery replacement by the owner. In his comprehensive article, Ulanoff outlines Apple’s battery replacement policy and gives the background in what has been a contentious issue for many iPod owners. “Maybe Apple made a mistake by not making them so consumers could replace their own batteries, but perhaps that's the price you pay for that much-lauded Apple industrial design,” Ulanoff concludes. “So please, enough with the wild conspiracy theories and the threats of class-action lawsuits. The iPod's a good player. Apple's not trying to pull a fast one, and some of you need to learn a little more about rechargeable battery care.”

Back; Oxyride Batteries 12/27/2004 11:20 AM

Good morning, internet friends. Another Christmas has come and gone, and yet, I am still without a Nintendo DS. If my attempt to find one in a store yesterday was any indication, they've been a big hit—both games and systems have been impossible to find. Fortunately, my little brother's arms are very pliable, enabling me to bend them behind his back with only the slightest of pressure, popping his DS from his grasp into mine. Small family are the best kind to steal from.

It's good to be back in the bloggy saddle, though, so let those tips flow like the sap of the nog bush. Also, feel free to send in links to your favorite reviews this year from across the internet. I'd like to take a look back at everyone's favorites and compare them with mine.

Also, look! A new AA battery that lasts twice as long but costs only 10 percent more. If Nintendo wouldn't have used rechargables inside the DS, you'd have gotten a nice segue.

Flashlight For A Variety Of Batteries


Flashlight For A Variety Of Batteries 09/15/2004 01:39 PM
Sometimes it's the simplest ideas that make a lot of sense. As people in Florida have been stocking up on batteries for their flashlights, it reminds you how you always need to make sure you have the right batteries around for your flashlights. They all seem to take different size batteries, and people always end up with random spare D or C batteries they don't know what to do with. One company is trying to solve that problem by creating a flashlight that will work with AA, C and D cell batteries with the flick of a switch. They claim the flashlight will show just as much light with any of the options, but the weaker batteries won't last as long.

The Truth About Lithium Ion Batteries 06/24/2005 07:08 PM

The comedian Jerry Seinfeld had a joke that the only warning label people took seriously was “dry clean only.”” But I think I found another one: the “charge this device completely before you attempt to use it for the first time”” warning. People lose their minds at the the thought of trying a new cell phone or MP3 player until it has charged its heart out for hour and hours on end. According to this…

A new Electronic Products article provides an overview of the advantages that ultracapacitors and combinations of ultracapacitors and fuel cells have over traditional batteries. The article touches on several applications including backup power, regenerative braking in cars, and consumer devices but much of the information could be applied to robotics as well. The author works for ultracapacitor maker, Maxwell Technologies, whose 350F D-cell sized ultracap has some interesting potential for robot builders.

I remember in the last house we lived in that I could aim my webcam down the hallway from my office and actually see into the kitchen. I had pcanywhere running on the PC so when I could take a few snaps to hopefully catch a glimpse of the kids. Well one day I turn on the camera and who is standing up on a counter reaching into a cabinet that is off limits. (candy)

So I pick up the cell and call home and ask my wife to put my daughter on the phone and I ask here what she was doing standing on the counter with her hands in the cabinet that has candy.

I get silence on the line as she tries to figure out how i knew well thats was the extent of the fun I have had with a webcam, but it seems other people are being innovative and putting webcams in all kinds of interesting places and running them remotely. A new camera though will last a long time on set of batteries check out this link. [Yahoo]
