content: I must confess, that dude is at least a somewhat creative nutshot. If I understand correctly, he wants to use floating EEPROM gates as capacitor to power stuff. LOLAt least not the usual idiot with strange circuit with coils, magnets, a cheap voltmeter, 9V battery and cables running to nowhere. Not a single word of free energy or conspiracy theories.But he's too creedy, 80000CAD is way too much, he'll never find enough idiots. For that, or for even more, you'll need a clock that beams darkness instead of light

content: Looks like Duracell are joining in on this scam:Duracell Quantum batteries(On a side note, the "quantum" name aside, this is some amazing marketing rubbish -- what this ad technically says is that their battery is less than 35% longer lasting compared to the next most popular alkaline batteryby sales volume, i.e., undoubtedly a super-cheap battery that probably costs less than half what these batteries cost...)

content: I strongly dislike cells with the "gas gauge" on the side. It tells me that the cell is a worthless marketing fluff inspired product.

content: The problem is alkaline battery technology hasn't changed much in the last 10-20 years. Virtually all alkaline batteries perform within 10-20% of their competitors, so if you have to use disposable cells, use the cheapest alkalines.http://www.batteryshowdown.com/results-hi.html

content: Duracell 9V batteries though are different. They are the only brand that will work for more than a week in a Gardena plant watering timer. They do typically 6 months per unit.The only differentiator between the other alkaline cells is the warranty, I generally just but Eveready ones, they last about the same length of time, and are just as prone to leak as the more expensive ones.

content: I know that Mike, but people buy the Gardena unit because it is the only one that you fit to the tap, without having to shell out the extra cash for the bigger mains powered units that water an entire garden acreage automatically. Basically the cheap Rainbird.
