Lithium Could Power Future Missions
 illustration only Plymouth Meeting Pa - February 12, 1999 - Lithium Technology Corporation has received an order from the NASA Lewis Research Center for twenty large prototype lithium-ion polymer cells that will be tested in a variety of aerospace applications.

LTC's proposal to NASA Lewis was based on the large (4"x8"x1/4") high capacity/high energy density cells originally developed for notebook computer and portable medical equipment applications requiring a 90 watt hour battery.

In commenting on this NASA order, LTC's chief technical officer, Dr George Ferment, said: "We are obviously very pleased that NASA Lewis has decided to test the large 8 Ah cells produced on our pilot line. This serves to further illustrate the growing demand for the ultrathin high capacity rechargeable batteries made possible by lithium-ion polymer technology."

LTC also continues to work with Yardney Technical Products of Pawcatuck, Connecticut on the Phase II NASA Small Business Innovative Research contract for development of a new rechargeable lithium battery to power the space suit for astronauts (see LTC press release of June 4, 1998).

About Lithium Technology Corporation
Lithium Technology Corporation is in the late stages of developing and seeking to commercialize a new generation of solid state rechargeable batteries for portable electronics devices, such as notebook computers, cell phones and medical equipment. The Company's patented and proprietary technology uses high performance fibers in composite battery structures and low cost continuous flow fiber web coating and handling processes for manufacturing. These new batteries represent a significant benefit to the end-user in terms of longer run times and thinner, flatter, lighter-weight form factors.
