Souvenir Cranwell Battery Regenerator

 
Price: £ 19.99

Don't throw those old battieries away!  You may not realise it but those seemingly 'dead' batteries still have power and can be regenerated on average between 10-20 times.  The Souvenir Cranwell is based on a 1922 Thomas Edison patent and regenerates power inside single-use alkaline AA or AAA batteries by cleaning the electrodes. This restores the battery to up to 95% manufacturer's condition. 

Each year in the UK over 30,000 tons of single-use batteries are sent to landfill.  Using the Souvenir Cranwell battery regenerator can reduce this figure significantly.  The cost of regenerating a single AA or AAA battery is approximately 1/10th of a penny and the battery can be returned to 95% of its original power.  Either 4 x AA OR 4  x AAA batteries can be regenerated simultaneously in any 72 hour cycle.  An LED light indicates the process is complete when it is extinguished.  Please be aware that this is product is NOT a battery recharger; the unused power remaining in the battery is simply released by cleaning of the electrodes.  The Souvenir Cranwell battery regenerator comes with a 1 year manufacturer's warranty.

Technical Specification:

  • Input voltage : 100-240V DC 50-60 Hz
  • Output voltage: 1.8V DC per channel
  • Output current:  35mA per channel

I've had one of these for a few months now, and it definitely works. The batteries don't seem to have very much power, but that may be because all the batteries I've got at the moment are cheapies. I need to test it with some good quality Duracell-type jobbies. The regenerated batteries are fine for use in remote controls, clocks and other items which don't require high power batteries. What you do need to watch out for, and they don't mention this in any of the reviews or on the packaging, is battery leakage. About 1 battery in 20 will start leaking during charging, depositing stuff on the contacts. When this happens the unit and the batteries in it get warm, and I am a little concerned that something nasty could happen if left unchecked. So I recommend you take the unit out of the socket at least once a day, remove the batteries and check them and the contacts. Get rid of any leaking batteries and clean the contacts with alcohol. As for how the thing works, the official story that this appliance 'cleans the battery electrodes from the inside' sounds like a bunch of hokum to me. It looks exactly like a normal NiCD / NMh recharger, all it seems to be doing is applying a very low electrical charge. If that really is cleaning the electrodes from the inside, fair enough. But hey, it works.
