Ultralife Batteries, Inc., in cooperation with one of its distributors, has received an order valued at approximately $1.5 million to supply custom lithium ion batteries and chargers to Cubic Defense Applications, the defense segment of Cubic Corporation.

The order is for production quantities of custom lithium ion rechargeable batteries and chargers for Cubics Weapons Effects Simulation land-based combat training system for the Canadian Armed Forces. Battery and charger deliveries are scheduled to begin this June and continue through October 2005.

John D. Kavazanjian, Ultralifes president and chief executive officer said, This order further reinforces Ultralifes leadership role as a supplier of advanced lithium and lithium ion batteries and chargers for use in critical military systems.

It also illustrates the range of customers with whom we have relationships in our military business - US governmental entities, US defense contractors and military distributors, both domestic and international.

Many of the military batteries we have developed and produced are also used in commercial applications, affording us the opportunity to expand our customer base for these products.

Powered by Ultralifes rugged, custom-engineered 14-volt, six ampere-hour lithium ion batteries and multiple-bay chargers, the Weapon Effects Simulation system features a fully integrated Direct-Fire Weapons Effects Simulation system that includes Cubics new Precision Combat Training System and advanced software-based exercise control and after-action review technology.
