ENER1's EnerDel Subsidiary to Deliver Technical Presentation on Lithium Ion Batteries for HEV at Advanced Automotive Battery Conference

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL | Posted on March 13th, 2007

Ener1, Inc. (OTCBB: ENEI), an alternative energy company, announced that its EnerDel subsidiary will be making a technical presentation on lithium ion battery development at the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (AABC) in Long Beach, California taking place from May 15 - 18 this year. EnerDel is a Gold Level conference sponsor and is also exhibiting at the conference. Hiroyuki Yumoto, Director of Cell Development for EnerDel, will be making a presentation at the conference on "Li-Ion Battery Pack Systems for Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Applications." The AABC conference is attended by over 600 participants from all over the world, representing a strong cross section of the industry, including automotive customers, Tier 1 suppliers, battery developers and manufacturers, as well as leading academic and research institutions. To visit the AABC web site, go to: http://www.advancedautobat.com/AABC/index.html .

In a separate development, EnerDel announced that it delivered lithium ion battery cells for the next phase of testing by an independent laboratory. The batteries will be tested for high hybrid pulse power characterization, cold cranking, efficiency and lifetime performance. EnerDel expects that the test results will be available in late April 2007. EnerDel stated that the company expects that the performance of these cells will further improve on the results that were recently announced in February. In that announcement, EnerDel reported excellent test results for power-assist goal performance, including tests for static capacity, hybrid pulse power, self-discharge and thermal performance at various temperatures. EnerDel said the initial tests results show that its cells met and exceeded all established performance goals.
