Astris Energi Markets New E7 Power Generator With Double The Power Of PredecessorMISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, CANADA, December 8, 2004 -- Astris Energi Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board - ASRNF), the world's leading alkaline fuel cell (AFC) technology company, announced today that it has commenced marketing of its new, silent-running, emission-free, Model E7 AFC Generator.
The E7 is an advanced version of the Model E6 power unit that has successfully powered Astris' Freedom Golf Car for the past three years. The E7 is built with two 900W Astris' POWERSTACK MC250 alkaline fuel cell stacks giving the unit a 1.8kW nominal power rating with the ability for maximum power output to reach 2.15kW, a 20% overload factor. The Model E7 is designed as a direct replacement for existing traction batteries used in a wide variety of mobile applications such as golf cars, neighbourhood electric vehicles, and forklifts.
"The Model E7 is more than twice as powerful as the E6 with the same dimensions," said Peter Nor, Vice President, Marketing and Corporate Development. "The ability to overload the generator by 20% provides more than sufficient power for peak loads during acceleration and hill climbing. Since fuel cells keep the voltage supply at a constant level, in mobile applications there is no 'fading away' that is so familiar to battery car users. We anticipate some exciting applications as vendors realize the inherent advantages that the AFC-powered E7 has over gas or battery powered units."
