Technology Overview

MTI Micro's Mobion® cord-free power packs are being developed to replace current lithium ion and similar rechargeable battery systems in many hand-held electronic devices in the military and consumer markets. Mobion® power packs are based on direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) technology which has been recognized as enabling technology for advanced portable power sources by the scientific community and industry analysts. A recent study by Allied Business Intelligence (ABI) sees almost 22% of all hand held electronic devices with rechargeable power packs being powered by DMFCs by 2011.

MTI Micro's Mobion® cord-free rechargeable power pack technology is being designed to increase run time (time until a recharge is needed) two to ten times over the status quo of existing battery technologies. As importantly, for the first time wireless and other electronic hand held devices will be "truly wireless", capable of going anywhere, anytime with no need to plug in or wait for a recharge to complete.
