I'm guessing that you have some connection to the people who are making the "Batteriser" (since you created a new user ID for the purpose of posting this defense of the product).

If you claim that the debunking video is flawed, I challenge you to send a prototype of the Batteriser to the person who made that video so that he can test it (or to any other well known organization). A test would be straightforward to do: pull two new batteries out of the same package, run them with two identical devices and see which battery fails first, the one with the Batteriser or the control. Run the test several times, swapping the devices on alternate runs of the test to make sure the device being powered isn't the cause of the difference.

"Also interesting was their extrapolation that 20 million Swiss Francs (about $21.2 million USD) worth of battery value is thrown away every year in Switzerland!"

This is irrelevant to whether the device works as claimed or not. It makes your post sound like an ad, detracting from the credibility of your argument.

For reference, here's the discussion of the video that claims to debunk the Batteriser: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9677900
