Newsflash! Sticking a piece of foil onto your laptop battery does nothing for the battery life....

But that doesn't necessarily mean the manufacturer's claims of a 30% increase in life are BS, oh no...

Quote :

In judging the value of Batterylife Activator, we don't want to go as far as another, well-known battery manufacturer did in its test reports. Those reports not only say that the activator foil doesn't work, they actually categorize the foil (or perhaps more accurately, decal) as an outright hoax.

<b>Maybe the Batterylife Activator does do something</b>. But in our own testing with two different notebooks, we were unable to verify any kind of improvement in battery life for older lithium-ion batteries.


What? What does it do? FGS, this is supposed to be a <i>review</i> site... you can't review something, find it's crap in all your tests, and then say "Well, maybe it's <i>not</i> crap?"...

Bah... I knew deciding to go and see what articles THG has on the front page was a stupid idea...

Geez, chill man. They are trying to keep an open mind. I know it wasn't the best thing to say, but that simply shows they try to keep possibilities open. That's better objectivity than blasting the product no matter what.

Again I do agree that it is 99.9% sure the product is simply crap, but you can't just blsat THG like that, it's ridiculous IMO.
