Battery-Biz Inc. Selected as CES Innovations 2007 Honoree for DURACELL® Power^FM™

NEWBURY PARK, CA – November 9, 2006 – Battery-Biz Inc., the leading manufacturer of third party rechargeable power products, announced today that the DURACELL Power^FM was selected as a CES Innovations 2007 Honoree for the Audio Accessories category. Battery-Biz received the award this week at the CES Unveiled @ NY event in New York City. This is the first official press event surrounding the 40th anniversary of the Consumer Electronics Show.

"Being named a CES Innovations Honoree is very exciting," said Jessie Revlin, Director of Marketing & Conventional Sales for Battery-Biz. "We are confident that the innovative, sleek product design combined with the strength of the DURACELL brand and consumer-friendly price will make the Power^FM successful in the iPod market."

The DURACELL Power^FM is the only iPod accessory that combines the functionality of an FM radio transmitter with the convenience of an extended rechargeable battery as well as the protection of a silicone case. The lightweight unit eliminates the need to plug in for sound or power and is designed to give iPod users a truly wireless experience. The Power^FM unit provides more than double the iPod’s run-time and allows users to transmit their music to any FM radio.

The Power^FM provides exceptional value at a suggested retail price of $79.99. In order to duplicate the functionality of the Power^FM consumers would have to spend over $120 to individually purchase an FM transmitter, an extended battery and a silicone case. The 1st Generation Nano and Video versions will be available in December at major U.S retail distributors and online stores, as well as at www.battery-biz.com and www.duracelldirect.com. The 2nd Generation Nano will be available in January 2007.

Since 1989, the prestigious CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards have given consumer technology manufacturers and developers an opportunity to have their newest products judged by a panel of independent industrial designers, independent engineers and members of the trade press. For the 12th year, the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) endorsed and acted as advisors to the Innovations Design & Engineering Awards. A preeminent panel of judges evaluated products based on user value, unique and novel features, contributions to the quality of life and aesthetic and design qualities.
