Newark NY (SPX) Sep 28, 2005
Ultralife Batteries has been awarded an increase by the U.S. Defense Department in the quantity of BA-5372/U batteries to be supplied under its Next Gen II Small Cylindrical battery contract.

Valued at up to $25 million, the increase brings the total contract value to up to $45 million. Ultralife has already shipped or has orders scheduled for monthly shipments through 2006 totaling over $20 million. The additional quantities, once ordered, could extend deliveries into 2009.

As a result of heightened military actions in the Middle East during the past few years, demands for the BA-5372/U battery have exceeded original projections. The remaining quantity of batteries that can be ordered on the current contract is insufficient to meet new projected demands and additional batteries are needed to eliminate backorders and replenish inventory.

John D. Kavazanjian, Ultralife's president and chief executive officer, said, "We have been supplying this strategically important battery to the U.S. Military for many years and have always responded to its steadily increasing demand. We are regularly shipping these batteries and are prepared to supply the additional batteries over the next few years under this modified contract as we continue to receive additional order releases from the Government."
