Not sure why you aren’t just using the two kilowatt meters you have shown and measuring watts in and watts out and comparing.“Advances are made by answering questions. Discoveries are made by questioning answers.”

The BatterySaver model takes the remaining low-voltage output from dead batteries and raises the voltage to a usable level by discharging the remaining energy at a high rate. It does this by operating at a lower voltage than standard voltage regulators, allowing it to extend the life of almost any battery type, capacity and chemistry.
This unique approach avoids expending energy when boosting is not required, as this technology uses low power switching to autonomously engage the boosting circuitry only when necessary. No other boosting method can recover this remaining energy in a dead battery without sacrificing response time or power output, both of which make other methods unusable in most electronic applications.
How does this work? It is essentially rewiring a circuit board that can fit on top of an existing battery or inside the battery casing; It’s small, low-tech, and cheap enough to be retrofitted or built into a device from the get-go, and smart enough to tap into energy stores that regularly go to waste.
After completing four years of prototyping, the team has bootstrapped $100,000, and is exploring licensing offers.
At Udell’s location in the Santa Rosa hills, he shows me a working prototype, about the size of a penny, a strip of wires to connect to a battery terminal. BatterySaver prototypes are small, inexpensive, flexible, and can be attached to terminals or housing, installed on the battery itself, or retrofitted after manufacture.

Udell removes a dead battery from a radio, connects the prototype, reinserts, and the machine comes to life.
“We have an electronic solution to a chemical problem,” Bill Seidel, 75, a longtime Udell collaborator with a gray ponytail, tells popular mechanics, Seidel is QVC turned out to be a hit, Developed a US military product, and now serves as Vice President of Marketing for BatterySaver.
Udell says the cost to manufacture is just 12 cents per unit, with retail plans to package two BatterySaver units for 99 cents per package.

Here’s why high speed ceramic bearings. 8mm

You can buy a new car for the cost of some of these bearings

What is your circuit for this video? You keep talking about an inverter in the first video. I see what looks like a boost module, but NO inverter, and it sounds like you are running the light off the boost module, so there is still no pulse going to the batteries as far as I can tell. In the second video I see no light, so is it still there? Not knowing exactly what the circuit is makes it hard to know. Anyway, have fun! You always learn something when you start running experiments. Li batteries aren't supposed to be discharged that low, are they? So it will be interesting to see how it responds after that kind of discharge. Started at 9 volts???Last edited by Turion; 08-01-2022, 05:07 AM.“Advances are made by answering questions.

The thing is still running and yes I have a bowl over the big light but don't forget all 3 back lights for the watt meter panels plus all 3 watt meter circuits are burning power plus the bright lights and digital readout lights on the inverter plus the inverter internal circuit. That is a bunch and it looks like I may get another 6 WH before I switch? I am having fun Dave thanks. I'll post the circuit.
Oops the charge battery has a cap. Remember these li ion batteries run from 11v-10v the entire run and then bottom out in 3 minutes.
The new run shows over 14WH and the run pack is still 22.65v. That is amazing. I have never seen battery 3 charge right up till today.

You need to wait and see if battery 3 holds voltage after you quit all your testing and after it has rested, and where your primary pack ends up. Once battery 3 is FULL, you are wasting energy if you keep trying to charge it. If you then rotate your batteries, you should be good to keep it going.Last edited by Turion; 08-01-2022, 05:44 AM.“Advances are made by answering questions.

I have already burned up going on 10 WH. WTH is going on? I'll be up for days. The run pack is at 22.45v as of 18 WH

If 100 watts goes THROUGH the primary side of the inverter that is 85% efficient (to the charge battery) the secondary "generates" 85 watts. You only have to "recover" 15 watts of the 100 you put in to get a COP>1. You may be recovering MORE than that, plus your inverter may be better than 85% efficient. The gains have always been there if people would just BUILD it and look. The more efficient the boost module, the higher the gains, because the MORE you recover and the MORE you generate.Last edited by Turion; 08-01-2022, 06:21 AM.“Advances are made by answering questions.

Last picture. Had to stop the charge battery is full again and the run batteries have 40% left in them. Going to bed, nite
Edit add 3WH to the 9WH to cover the idling energy burning over a 5 plus hr run. Each pack only runs 3 hrs max by itself delivering 6 WH
