Advanced Battery Technologies' Batteries Prove Successful in Use by China National Oceanography Institute's Ocean No.1 Deep-Sea Exploration Vessel

Aug.08, 2007



Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: ABAT) announced today that its polymer lithium-ion batteries are being used by the China National Oceanography Institute's Ocean No.1 vessel to enable deep-sea drilling at 7,500 meters. Advanced Battery Technologies distributes rechargeable polymer-lithium-ion (PLI) batteries.

ABAT's PLI batteries were put to the test during a 180-day deep-sea expedition, during which the Institute's Ocean No. 1 vessel successfully drilled for samples. Participating oceanographers gave high praise to the grab bucket and drilling sampling machines using ABAT's 100V and 22Ah, and 300V and 55Ah PLI batteries, respectively.

Specifically, they noted that ABAT's PLI batteries have a number of advantages over other types of batteries used in recent years, including higher energy density, enhanced safety performance, and the ability to endure high levels of pressure. Overall, they rated ABAT's PLI batteries superior to other batteries for deep-sea exploration and expressed confidence that ABAT's PLI batteries would enable them to accomplish the tasks of future deep-sea exploratory missions.

"We are extremely pleased to receive such glowing reviews from the oceanographers aboard the China National Oceanography Institute's Ocean No. 1 vessel," stated Mr. Zhiguo Fu, ABAT Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are confident that our PLI batteries will enable Ocean No. 1 oceanographers to efficiently and successfully complete their deep-sea explorations," concluded Mr. Fu.
