April 15, 2005 – La Verne, CA, Maha Energy Corp., maker of PowerEx brand batteries and chargers, is pleased to announce an Ultra High Capacity rated addition to its NiMH battery product line:

The PowerEx High Capacity 2500mAh AA batteries provide reliable life cycles. Built on Maha’s fully automated production lines, PowerEx batteries capture both ultra high capacity and long life (number of times batteries can be recharged). The batteries are specifically designed for high drain applications such as digital cameras and other portable electronics.

Not only do the PowerEx AA NiMH 2500mAh Rechargeable Ultra High Capacity Batteries have 2500mAh true capacity offering super long run times, but they can also be recharged hundreds of times. The batteries may be charged anytime without having to drain them all the way first, saving time without compromising performance.

True Capacity 2500mAh Maximum Life NiMH Rechargeable Batteries provide longest lasting power and now come with improved performance that assures excellent recovery times in flash units. PowerEx batteries recycle flash in half the time compared to fresh alkaline batteries.

PowerEx 2500mAh NiMH AA 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 batteries. The value-added accessory not only allows the organizing of batteries, but it also allows users to carry batteries with ease and prevents accidental shortages when mixed with metal objects.

PowerEx 2500mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries are especially manufactured to Industrial Standards for the avid photographer. Because not all batteries are created equal due to variation in design, quality control and rating, even identically rated 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 batteries manufactured. Maha Energy Corp., a leading provider of consumer and industrial battery and charging solutions, operates a global network of manufacturing, design and distribution locations to serve both standard and OEM customers.
