EASTPOWER! Power. From the East.

How we love products with really literal names. These are batteries. For the east. They are called East Power. At no point was a bunch of multimedia branding cocks paid £400,000 to think of a name. The boss sat down. With a pint. And thought up the name. That's how real, heavy duty business is done.

EAST POWER: Power. From... you 'do the math'

We have been trying very hard not to do battery updates. We hope you appreciate this. We could stop doing battery updates at any time. It just feels nice to slip back into it every once in a while.



That's the Russian for "Please insert properly and do not dispose of in fire". This knowledge could save your life on a drunken stag do in Moscow.



EXPLANATION: "At first glimpse, I expected these batteries to be from China, then I see the (Russian?) text and think Eastern Europe. Then Google grants me knowledge not only of a Chinese operation with batteries for Eastern Europe but images of Ronnie Wen and a man referred to only as "his boss". Which is fantastic all in itself. I, for one, would love to be referred to as Ronnie Wen's Boss. Any bets that's what it says on his business card? I want to only buy batteries from this well-dressed dynamic duo.

Ronnie Wenn and his boss

The thing I like best in the blurb about them is this:-

"The company's R&D focus for H1 2007 is making better batteries."

Beautiful. Simple. Timeless. I bet they didn't have to shell out 40 thousand sobs to some cocksultant to help them come up with that either.

Surely we are to the east of someone at all time, as we live on globe ? Therefore we could claim this as our own.

Translation of what it says on the battery:
"Observe Polarity(+/-). Do not dissasemble, do not throw in fire, do not charge"

All I know is I'm bored to fucking tears with all this batteries bollocks.
How about a feature on circuit boards that look like they have a face or something. That'd be okay.
