Portable Power Supply Works With Laptops, Phones, Cameras, More
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced transportation pioneer
ZAP (OTC:ZAPZ) (BULLETIN BOARD: ZAPZ) will unveil a new lithium battery system
that powers a wide array of mobile electronics, from mp3 players to laptops, at
the world's largest technology trade show, CES in Las Vegas.
ZAP is at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to unveil its new battery
system to one of the world's largest events for the electronics industry. A
pioneer in electric cars, scooters, bicycles and other advanced transportation
technologies, ZAP is establishing an energy division for the advanced energy
technologies it has been developing for cars and packaging it for the
electronics industry. CEO Steve Schneider says battery technology is
progressing rapidly and sees an opportunity for ZAP to pursue the
co-development of these technologies.
"The U.S. market for advanced batteries is expected to double over the next
three years and much of the predicted growth is attributable to hybrid and
electric vehicles sales," says Schneider. "We see an opportunity for ZAP to
take a leadership role in both these areas of development to further our goal
of zero-emission transportation. The battery technology also works well with
our research into hydrogen hybrid vehicle systems."
Schneider says ZAP's new Portable Energy(TM) system will revolutionize mobile
electronics. The lithium-polymer battery system has four times the energy
density of conventional batteries and is compatible to 80 percent of mobile
electronics. About the size of a diary, the rechargeable battery system can
power and recharge a wide range of mobile electronics devices, including
laptops, cell phones, handheld computers, gaming systems, audio players,
cameras, camcorders and more -- several at the same time.
The ZAP Battery is great for traveling business people. The battery system can
be recharged at any household outlet and is rechargeable up to 500 times. The
ZAP can power a wide range of electronics through different power ports,
including a USB port for 4 to 6 volt gadgets, DC port for 7 to 11 volts and a
DC laptop port for up to 19 volts.
