Advanced Battery Technology, Sep 2005

Ultralife Batteries, Inc. has received an order of about $900,000 from a German battery assembler for its HiRate® D-size lithium manganese dioxide cells for man-pack radios to be supplied to Germany's Federal Office of Defense Technology and Procurement.

John Kavazanjian, Ultralife's president and chief executive officer, said, "This first major order for our high-performance lithium cells for use in German military radio batteries expands and further strengthens our presence in international defense markets."

Ultralife's HiRate non-rechargeable cells are used in a wide range of military and industrial applications where high energy, long shelf life, safety and high reliability are required. The cells will be assembled into 18V, UAh batteries for use in the SEM 70 family of VHF tactical radios, widely used by the German Army.
