The Mobion® Advantage

Mobion® technology eliminates the need for cumbersome water management "micro-plumbing" around the micro fuel cell, which results in several key and distinct advantages for OEM system designers and end consumers:

Powerful - Two keys to producing an advanced DMFC power pack are:
1. maximize the amount of fuel within the power pack, and
2. minimize the amount of dilution of the fuel stored within the tank.
With Mobion® technology, both of these parameters are uniquely addressed and optimized:
1. more room is available within the pack for the fuel (due to the elimination of the "micro plumbing), and
2. the system can accept 100% "neat" methanol (due to Mobion® water reallocation internal to the fuel cell).
Manufacturable - By eliminating the "micro plumbing", Mobion® technology is easier to manufacture as well as more compact, making Mobion®-based DMFCs small and light enough for hand held devices.
Affordable - Mobion® Technology uses existing, proven and highly available materials, without the need for expensive "micro-plumbing" components. Add to that the abundance of methanol (made from natural gas) and Mobion® Technology is cost effective for OEMs and consumers alike.

Mobion® vs. Rechargeable Battery Packs	Mobion®	Status Quo ^*	The Mobion® Advantage
Can recharge without plugging into power outlet	Yes	No	Never have to find a recharge power source again
Can instant recharge	Yes	No	No downtime waiting for a recharge
Can carry the power source with you anywhere	Yes	No	Can recharge anytime, anywhere, on demand
Can run 2 to 10 times longer on a single charge	Yes	No	More power per charge means increased productivity, less chance of power rundown at crucial moment
Eliminates heavy metals in waste	Yes	No	Environmentally friendlier
^* Lithium and Nickel-based rechargeable batteries

The combination of these unique Mobion® advantages leads MTI Micro to believe the Company has an excellent opportunity to lead the adoption of DMFC technology by hand-held electronics OEMs as well as drive consumer adoption in its target markets.
