SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Batteroo Boost, the reusable intelligent power management sleeve that slips over batteries and extends their usable life, is now available worldwide through Batteroo Corporation's online store, the company announced today.
Every year, billions of batteries end up in landfills with over 80% energy still left in them. The Batteroo Boost sleeve, with its patented technology, extends the life of the batteries by tapping into the remaining energy that would have otherwise been thrown away.
Crafted from stainless steel, less than 0.1 millimeter thin, Batteroo boost sleeves slip over disposable batteries to increase the usable lifespan of different battery operated devices such as children's toys, flashlights, remote controls, wireless keyboards, video game controllers, portable radios, and blood pressure monitors. Batteroo is currently available for AA, AAA, C, and D-cell batteries, and retail prices start at $10.00 for a pack of four.
While many battery-operated devices stop working due to "Dead" Batteries, Often, there is still a significant amount of energy left in those "Dead" batteries. Batteroo Boost's electronic-circuitry taps into the battery's remaining energy, resulting in significant performance improvement and useable life extension. By increasing the time consumers can use their battery operated devices before needing to replace their batteries, Batteroo Boost saves them money resulting from buying fewer batteries, saves our planet by reducing the number of batteries that end up in landfills, and saves energy and raw material used to produce and transport fewer batteries around the globe.
Of the reported 15 billion disposable batteries that are sold each year, only two percent are recycled properly, according to estimates. If we line up the batteries that are thrown away, they would circle the earth more than 18 times, each year. Battery manufacturing was listed as a major source of greenhouse gas emissions in a 2010 study conducted by the California Department of Resources Recycling. The Batteroo Boost technology offers a solution to reduce this unnecessary waste and resulting harm to our environment.
"Disposable Batteries, while allowing us to be mobile, are very inefficient power delivery systems. As an example, at 10c/KWh, a household that pays $200 per month for electricity, would have to pay $440,000 per month if using batteries instead of utility companies. With such expensive energy, it is a shame that a significant number of them get thrown away with more than 80% of energy still left inside," said Bob Roohparvar Ph.D. Batteroo's CEO. "Batteroo is good for consumers, good for environment, but not necessarily good for the $14 billion disposable battery industry. But progress happens and industries have to adapt."
Batteroo Boost sleeves for AA, AAA, C and D type batteries are commercially available online at www.Batteroo.com. Batteroo Corporation anticipates availability of Batteroo Boost in retailers, both online and Brick-and-mortar in the second half of this year.
