acetate increases battery milage by 0 - 0.00035%....

Silicon Skum

Well, it's not realy acetate, more a sort of foil type stuff,but I couldn't resist using the tag line.

Over at the german doc's HQ of computer testing (Toms Hardware) they ran a series of tests on a "wonder" foil that claims to increase or rejuvinate[sp?] failing Li-ion battery capacity.

Makes for some fun reading. Might try sticking some on my car fuel tank, you never know........

Makes you wonder just how products like these can even make it to market, let alone why people are willing to part with money to buy something that is so painfully obviously a scam.

"We therefore strongly advise against investing in the Batterylife Activator, be it either $52 for the notebook version, or $15 for the mobile phone version. A colorful decal is arguably just as good, and certainly much cheaper to acquire and apply to your batteries."

I read that and could not agree more!

They have these stupid stickers you put on your gas tank now that increases mileage.

WTF is up with that?

I have heard of something similar to this, except it's for your house. It simply is glued to the interior walls and will instantly repair failing plaster and colour scemes.................Think it's called "wall paper".....

Heheh, that whole review on that product (scam) give me such a good laugh I just had to post it here for you guys.

I just find the whole idea to be so stupid, yet when I saw an actual review on it I was *almost* willing to give it the benifit of doubt............Until I read the first page.

It's kinda scarey the way something so dodgey could seem *almost* plausable at the time (albeit a short time). Confused

Apologies for posting it to chit chat, I was'nt sure what part of the forum it should go under.
