Hot-swappable micro Fuel Cell System can run laptop for two days
March 8, 2006 UltraCell demonstrated its UltraCell XX25 micro fuel cell
system at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco today. Powered by
a reformed methanol fuel cell technology, the UltraCell XX25 is a
pre-production unit designed for the military. Beta testing of the XX25
will begin mid-year, and a commercial version, the UltraCell UC25 could
be available by the end of this year. The UltraCell UC25 will run a
laptop computer for up to two working days on a single methanol fuel
cell cartridge and as these lightweight cartridges are also
hot-swappable, the UltraCell systems can run indefinitely without any
need for electrical recharging.
"Our fuel cell systems literally cut the cord to electrical
dependence," said James Kaschmitter, CEO of UltraCell. "They fit
perfectly with the emerging revolution in downloading, networking and
wireless communications."
In addition, the UltraCell XX25 portable power source for the military
will significantly lower the total weight carried by soldiers on
extended missions, as well as reduce operational costs through the
reduction of throwaway primary batteries and the logistic burden of
recharging batteries.
UltraCell has designed the XX25 for evaluation to military testing
specifications, ranging from extreme operating temperatures to
combat-situation vibration and shock conditions. The UltraCell
lightweight fuel cell system, for example, will be manufactured to
operate in sub-zero and desert environments or survive hard drops while
in transit. Meeting these stringent requirements makes the UltraCell
system ideal for a full range of ruggedized electronic product
applications.
Delivery of the UltraCell XX25 production samples for military
evaluation at CERDEC (Communications-Electronics Research, Development
and Engineering Center) is slated for the second quarter of 2006.
UltraCell is currently initiating planning of Beta testing of the UC25
with qualified commercial customers for the second half of 2006.
The Army has selected the UltraCell XX25 because it has up to a 70%
weight advantage over currently available military rechargeable
batteries, based on a 72-hour mission at 20 watts. (Longer missions at
higher power levels will show greater improvements.)
UltraCell's patented reformed methanol fuel cell (RMFC) system
generates fuel-cell-ready hydrogen from a highly concentrated methanol
solution. The new portable power systems thus have the power density of
a hydrogen fuel cell but use the readily available, low cost methanol
fuel in a convenient, compact package.
A brochure for the UltraCell UC25 can be downloaded here.
