Global Technology Systems Expands OEM Battery Pack Division

Release date: August 22, 2007

NATICK, Mass.- (BUSINESS WIRE)–Global Technology Systems announced today that it has expanded its OEM Design and Manufacturing operations for portable hand-held devices.

Its capabilities now include a unique modular battery charging system which is coordinated and designed with the battery pack.

In addition, Global Technology Systems announced that it has begun designing packs using its innovative NEOCELLS™. These are unique Lithium Polymer batteries which are safer and more powerful than Lithium Ion, and can be manufactured in almost any shape.

Danny Rockett, Vice President of Manufacturing stated: “We currently have 10 dedicated OEM battery pack assembly lines with duplicate capabilities for all of our manufacturing operations. This gives us the flexibility to provide small or large volume production. Our manufacturing capacity is now in excess of one million battery packs and several thousand battery chargers per month.”

Vice President Scott Benezra stated: “There are important benefits in sourcing both custom battery packs and battery chargers from the same designer and manufacturer. This includes elimination of the risk of inter-operation of battery chargers and battery packs, and simplified supply chain management. And by making our NEOCELLS™ available, we can give our customers a competitive advantage in the design of new products and also in upgrading their legacy products.”

The company’s Systems Approach to design provides additional technical benefits including:

A tighter mechanical and electrical mating of battery pack and battery charger.
Enabling the battery charger design to complement the battery pack protection functions, resulting in more effective battery pack protection circuitry.
Access to the cell profiles of the pack allows for a more effective and efficient charger design.

Benezra further stated: “Today’s portable devices place great demands on the battery pack. In many situations, the battery cannot last a full shift. The company’s Systems Approach allows our customers to get the maximum possible run time, using the latest pack, charger and power management technologies.”
