APC's Advanced Battery Technology Helps Power Today's Mobile Electronics
WEST KINGSTON, R.I., June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Power
Conversion (Nasdaq: APCC) (APC), a world leader in power availability and
protection solutions, today announced the addition of the Mobile Power Pack
to its award-winning line of mobility solutions. The Mobile Power Pack's
sophisticated design complements today's mobile devices including MP3
players, mobile phones and portable gaming systems. Smaller than a deck of
cards, this innovative device delivers hours of extra battery power for
those gadgets consumers need most while on the go.

"Mobile device users continuously face the risk of running out of
power. With the increasing dependence on these devices for work and play,
the need for power is vital," said Joe Loberti, general manager of APC's
Consumer Network Solutions group. "APC has built upon its expertise in
power availability and protection to create the Mobile Power Pack.
Consumers can rely on this rechargeable battery to keep their essential
mobile devices operating long after an internal battery would have run out
of power."
APC utilizes lithium polymer battery cells, an advanced battery
technology with a higher power density than traditional lithium ion cells,
to create a compact solution with high power output. Compatible with a wide
range of mobile devices, the Mobile Power Pack can generate up to 55 hours
of additional music time for an MP3 device such as the iPod(R) Nano, and 8
to 10 hours of additional email and talk time for smartphones, such as a
BlackBerry(R) or Palm(R) Treo(TM). Weighing slightly more than 3 ounces,
the Mobile Power Pack is a necessity for any mobile user.
The product includes the Mobile Power Pack, an AC to USB power adapter,
and a USB to Mini B power cable. The Mobile Power Pack charges most mobile
devices using the manufacturer cables; however, APC recommends the use of
APC's USB Charging Cables (sold separately) to ensure compatibility.
Currently available in North America, the Mobile Power Pack (UPB10) carries
an estimated resale price of $69.99. For more information about APC and its
other innovative mobile solutions, please call 800-877-4080 or visit APC's
