PowerEx Strengthens its Rechargeable Battery Line with a New 2700 Ultra High Capacity Rechargeable Battery

May 1, 2006 - La Verne, CA, Maha Energy Corp., maker of PowerEx brand rechargeable batteries and battery chargers, is pleased to announce an Ultra High Capacity rated addition to its NiMH rechargeable battery product line:

MH-4AA270BH 4 AA NiMH 2700mAh with rechargeable battery holder 2700mAh 1.2V .

The PowerEx High Capacity 2700mAh AA rechargeable batteries provide reliable life cycles. Built on Mahas' fully automated production lines, PowerEx NiMH rechargeable batteries capture both ultra high capacity and long life (number of times rechargeable batteries can be recharged). The Powerex rechargeable batteries are specifically designed for high drain applications such as digital cameras and other portable electronics.

Not only do the PowerEx AA NiMH 2700mAh Rechargeable Ultra High Capacity Batteries have 2700mAh true capacity offering super long run times, but they can also be recharged hundreds of times. The Powerex rechargeable batteries may be charged anytime without having to drain them all the way first, saving time without compromising performance.

True Capacity 2700mAh Maximum Life NiMH Rechargeable Batteries  provide longest lasting power and now come with improved performance that assures excellent recovery times in flash units. PowerEx rechargeable batteries recycle flash in half the time compared to fresh alkaline batteries.

PowerEx 2700mAh NiMH AA rechargeable batteries are available in 4 packs and will also be shipped in a battery carrying case - a unique device that allows users to conveniently hold up to four AA or AAA rechargeable batteries. The value-added accessory not only allows the organizing of batteries, but it also allows users to carry rechargeable batteries with ease and prevents accidental shortages when mixed with metal objects.

PowerEx 2700mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries are especially manufactured to Industrial Standards for the avid photographer. Because not all rechargeable batteries are created equal due to variation in design, quality control and rating, even identically rated rechargeable batteries could have as much as 40% variation in performance. Maha has heavily invested in fully automated production lines to ensure the most consistent and best performing rechargeable batteries manufactured.

Maha Energy Corp., a leading provider of consumer and industrial battery and battery charging solutions, operates a global network of manufacturing, design and distribution locations to serve both standard and OEM customers.
