Summary
You could be talking for longer if Batterylife AG Activator does what it says on the tin.

A company called Batterylife AG has announced a device that enhances the lifetime of Lithium-Ion batteries for mobile phones.

The Activator is a special ceramic foil which is designed to extend the life of lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries – specifically the ones used in mobile phones.



To get it to work, apparently all the user has to do is to take the battery out of their phone, wrap the Activator around it, and put it back in the phone. Apparently it only works to full effect once the battery has been fully discharged and charged up again five times but once done users will apparently enjoy longer talk times and standby times.

The Activator works by preventing the generation of waste products that build up within the battery during use, as well as reducing the affects of those that. Batterylife is also claiming that as batteries last longer it will have a positive affect on the environment, presumably as batteries will have to be disposed of less often.

At present Batterylife is available from the web site based in Germany. However, at the time of writing, UK distribution is being set up. If the Activator is as effective as it is easy to use, it could prove to be a real winner of a product.
