             Launch of Portable Fuel Cell Automatic Battery Charger 
 
 
 
 
 
Lucerne, Switzerland : Voller Energy Group PLC (AIM: VLR), the leading 
commercial developer and manufacturer of portable fuel cell systems today 
announces the launch of a fuel cell automatic battery charger. 
 
 
 
The new fuel cell system is called the Fuel Cell ABC(TM) Automatic Battery Charger 
and is designed to charge a variety of batteries. This includes a MP3 player or 
Apple iPod(R) which can be connected to the inbuilt USB charging port. The Fuel 
Cell ABC(TM)can simultaneously charge an iPod(R), a laptop (via the standard wall 
outlet socket) and mobile phone (via the standard 'cigar lighter' outlet). 
 
 
 
The Fuel Cell ABC is an environmentally friendly portable generator that 
produces quiet AC mains electricity (either US standard 110v 60Hz or EU standard 
230v 50Hz).  The Fuel Cell ABC charger can also simultaneously run 12v DC 
electrical appliances that are designed to fit into a car cigar lighter socket, 
as well as being suitable for directly recharging batteries which are often used 
in remote locations to power a wide variety of measuring and monitoring 
equipment.  As with all Voller's fuel cell products, the new charger does not 
produce any noxious emissions, so it is ideally suited to indoor or even 
underground use. 
 
 
 
The ABC charger is the fourth generation fuel cell charger to have been launched 
by Voller since 2002.  As well as a range of new software features, a new 
improved canister release mechanism and new pricing - the unit has a radically 
improved appearance to the former model (VE100v3) and features a USB charging 
port for charging electronic equipment such as MP3 players or iPods. This is 
planned to be launched at the Lucerne Fuel Cell Forum http://www.efcf.com/ on 
3rd July. 
 
 
 
Stephen Voller, founder and CEO of Voller Energy commented: 
 
 
 
"The market for fuel cells is expected to grow rapidly and we continue to be an 
important innovator in the market. The Fuel Cell ABC is extremely user-friendly 
and can be used in a wide range of applications where portable and safe power is 
required.  From personal appliances such as an iPod or a laptop, to commercial 
appliances such as cordless power tools, this charger offers a highly adaptable 
and environmentally friendly technology."

Notes to Editors 
 
 
 
New features in Fuel Cell ABC 
 
 
 
  - Enhanced Software 
  - Automatic Battery Charging 
  - Frost Sensor 
  - USB Charging Socket 
  - Improved Canister Ejection 
  - New Colour - White & Silver 
  - New Cover Graphics 
 
 
 
Enhanced Software 
 
User can now set the voltage levels for automatic battery charging. Fuel Cell 
ABC will charge a wide variety of batteries. Software now monitors a temperature 
sensor. The user can now select which hydrogen cylinder type or size is being 
used. 
 
 
 
Automatic Battery Charging 
 
This mode can be selected via the front panel using the menu and select buttons. 
  The system will automatically monitor the level of the internal battery and 
any load being applied to it and when that level drops below a preset voltage, 
the system will switch itself on and top up the battery to its optimum level. 
The user has the advantage of now being able to set the voltage levels where the 
unit begins and stops charging. 
 
 
 
Frost Sensor 
 
The ABC now has a frost sensor built in which works when the system is in 
automatic mode. When the temperature drops to+2degreesC, the system will 
automatically switch on and remain on until the temperature has reached +7 
degreesC.  It will then switch off again.  It will continue to do this 
automatically. 
 
 
 
USB Charging Socket 
 
A new USB charging socket has been added to the front panel, this is rated at 
300mA maximum. This can be used to charge MP3 players, iPods, mobile phones or 
similar low power equipment. 
 
 
 
Improved Canister Ejection 
 
The canister release mechanism has been redesigned. The ejection lever is now 
located on the side of the unit.  The lever is easier to pull. 
 
 
 
New Colour & New Cover Graphics 
 
The most striking feature of the new Fuel Cell ABC, is the unique new identity 
in white and silver. New graphics clearly identify the product.
