EFCX to Supply NATO Summit with Zinc-Air batteriesbiz.yahoo.com Thursday April 22, 7:32 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Electric Fuel Corporation Electric Fuel to Supply NATO Summit with Zinc-Air Disposable Batteries for Cellular Phones WASHINGTON, April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Electric Fuel's (Nasdaq: EFCX - news) Consumer Battery Division announced today that the company will supply its first production Zinc-Air disposable batteries to cellular phones available for delegates attending NATO's 50th Anniversary Summit here beginning tomorrow. The Zinc-Air batteries come fully charged and are well-suited for truly wireless usage, eliminating the inconvenient ''downtime'' of recharging by requiring only that the depleted battery be replaced with a fresh unit. In addition, the Zinc-Air battery provides 3 to 4 times more talk and standby time than currently available from comparable rechargeable batteries. ''The Zinc-Air disposable solution offers peace of mind with uninterrupted and reliable communications,'' says Yehuda Harats, President and CEO of Electric Fuel. ''The disposable battery can provide extraordinary freedom of use for such multinational meetings.'' Electric Fuel's batteries will be distributed with cellular phones available for rent at the NATO Summit from InTouch USA. Electric Fuel Corporation (www.electric-fuel.com), with corporate offices in New York City and manufacturing and R&D facilities in Israel and in Alabama, is pioneering the use of zinc-air battery technology for electric vehicles, consumer electronic products, and industrial applications.
