Topic: Is there some sort of battery turbo charger?
The Continental !!+bfOgzYS+ started this discussion 15 years ago#969
I have these devices with built-in batteries, no way to access them. They take forever to recharge. IS there some sort of plug that can recharge built-in batteries at a faster rate? Thanks

No.
There's a reason why an electrician is needed to install an electric car charger.

I would have thought someone would have developed such a product. These stupid infrared lights run for 45 minutes, then take two hours to charge. I guess I need to order a bunch of them.

Increase the voltage so the amperage is increased. Watch out for exploding batteries!

Nah. A bunch of people buy two or more of a product like that[ie: infrared light], and switch them out. Thus, the companies make more money.
Anyone who develops such a charger would make more money by being paid not to release it, no?

True, but I dunno...seems like they would make a hell of alot of money releasing it. But, I guess my only option is to buy several more units.

Not if they go to every company that makes a product that takes a ridiculous amount of time to charge.
Pretty much, yeah.

Connect one wire to the positive terminal of the battery, and one to the negative. Plug each wire into one of the holes on a standard wall socket. This should maybe hopefully work. I think. inb4 emergency room visit

Do it. While wearing heavy rubber gloves, if you're that scared.

All joking aside, you may have noticed that when your batteries are charging, they get Warm™. If too much power is put into them while charging, the batteries could Overheat® and Explode℠in your Face™.

Ah, they get really Hotâ„¢ actually. They only work for about 45â„¢ minutes, ten take over Two-Hoursâ„¢ to Chargeâ„¢. This Sucksâ„¢, and I will have to buy more Unitsâ„¢ of the Deviceâ„¢.

You'd have to have 3 sets if they take 2 hours to charge and you want to be able to use them continually.
4 would be better.
