[QUOTE="Turnip, post: 7944845, member: 158498"] So I am helping someone get a degree and one task they have is come up with a product idea and write a business case around it.

His product is a device which has the same form factor as a battery for a cordless tool but enables it to be fed from mains voltage, either 230V or 110V.
