Microsoft’s InstaLoad technology makes it easy to install a battery
Who says Microsoft doesn’t innovate?
The company announced last week their new “InstaLoad” battery installation technology which allows users to easily install a battery without worrying about polarities. Yes, gone is the worry about what direction the battery should be installed in. A device enabled with InstaLoad tech will accept a battery in any direction – whether positive-side-up or positive-side-down.
According to the Microsoft press release, InstaLoad is a “mechanical invention that does not drain battery power or require expensive electronic circuitry.” The battery contacts can be cost-effectively designed into most battery compartments since updating a device to support InstaLoad will require replacing existing battery contacts with the new InstaLoad contact design.
InstaLoad is compatible with practically all off-the-shelf battery designs whether disposable or rechargeable and is available for license by third party device suppliers.
Kudos to Microsoft for addressing a basic yet widespread problem affecting everyone young and old.
