Control battery change over 14 days is 1.745v - 1.571v = 0.174v, which is a drop of 9.97%
Magnet battery change over 14 days is 1.753v - 1.605v = 0.148v, which is a drop of 8.44%


Overall the batteries with magnets have dropped 1.53% less than the control.

Thanks Tak,

i was planning to do something similar in about 1 week (3 weeks runtime).

As we have some variables like different leds etc. i am planning to recharge the batteries then, swap them over and redo the same test for again 3 weeks.

After 4 days:

Magnet powered  1.593V
control                1.557V      at the leds.

After another 3 days and totaling 3 weeks:

Magnet powered  1.587V
control                 1.225V      at the leds.


Guess the control batteries are drained

I will be freshly charge all batteries and swap them over so they load the other leds they did before and rerun the test for again 3 weeks.

Freshly charged all batteries.

The magnet powered batteries are now loaded by the former 5 control leds, now at 1.764V (at the leds)
The control batteries are now loaded by the former 5 magnet powered leds, now at 1.772V (at the leds).

Will leave it running again for 3 weeks.

After 3 days (makes it 3 weeks):

Magnet powered  1.605V
control                 1.624V      at the leds.


So i think we call this busted, see the load graphs below.

First graph one was with a set of batteries charged more then 1 year ago.


Second graph was with freshly charged battery sets and swapped load (leds + 180 Ohm series resistor).

There is very little deviation, a little strange is the "swaps" around 1.7V, but i guess that can be due to the
condition of one of the "battery powered" batteries.

No extraordinary power by the "magnet powered" batteries was seen.

I believe the experiment would have turned out differently, Itsu if you had used a real piece of steel under the magnets instead of  athin piece of sheet metal ( and an L shaped one at that) So different batteries, different LEDs, different steel equal different results!!!
