Toronto, Ontario – Electrovaya Inc. (TSX: EFL) has expanded its PowerPad product line to include the PowerPad 80. The PowerPad 80 utilizes Electrovaya’s proprietary SuperPolymer™ Lithium Ion technology providing users with up to threetimes more run time than internal computer batteries.
The PowerPad product line is a series of hi-capacity external rechargeable batteries. It enables users to power their laptop computers or tablet PCs for extended periods of time without the need to be tethered to a wall plug. The PowerPad line is comprised of the PowerPad 160 with 160-Watt hours, the PowerPad 120 with 120-Watt hours and now the PowerPad 80 with 80-Watt hours.
“The launch of the PowerPad 80 is key to Electrovaya’s expansion plans. At a lower price point and with a run time ideal for use by the majority of notebook users, the PowerPad 80 stands poised to do extremely well at the retail level in the US and Canada,” said Pat McCool, Electrovaya’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We have seen serious interest from large retail chains across North America and aim to have the PowerPad 80 availableinthe retail sector by mid-November.”
