Zinc Matrix Power, Inc. Unveils Silver-Zinc Rechargeable Battery Technology as

a Safe Alternative to Traditional Lithium-Ion Batteries New
Aqueous-Based Battery Technology Contains No Flammable Liquid for
Ignition and Explosion and Offers Significant Advantages in
Performance and Reusability

SAN FRANCISCO, INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Zinc
Matrix Power, developer of new, rechargeable battery technology based
on silver, zinc and water, will demonstrate its product at the Intel
Developers Forum (IDF) 2006 Conference, September 26 - 28, 2006 in San
Francisco, CA.

The company announces that its new battery technology has three
powerful advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries. "First of
all, the inherent chemistry of our batteries -- based mostly on
silver, zinc and water -- is safer," explains Dr. Ross Dueber,
president and CEO of Zinc Matrix Power, Inc. "Secondly, these
high-energy batteries can significantly improve upon the performance
of existing lithium-ion batteries used in notebook computers and
cellular phones. And finally, Zinc Matrix Power uses an
environmentally friendly chemistry which allows battery cells to be
recycled and the contents reused."

Visitors to the Zinc Matrix Power booth at IDF Fall 2006 will see a
demonstration of a notebook computer battery using silver-zinc
technology. This technology contains no lithium or flammable liquids
and is free from the problems of thermal runaway, fire and danger of
explosion. These batteries are also free from the regulations that
limit the size of lithium-containing batteries on airplanes.

In addition to the intrinsic safety offered by the ZMP cells, a
notebook PC battery pack using ZMP cells can be expected to provide
longer run-time than equivalent Li-ion based battery packs. The
combination of longer run-time, safety, and an unrestricted pack
capacity (not restricted by Li-ion battery regulations for in-flight
use) make Zinc Matrix Power battery cells an attractive proposition
for notebook PC OEMs.

In addition to addressing the needs of notebook computer and cell
phone manufacturers, Zinc Matrix Power rechargeable battery technology
has applications for the military, government, retail, and broadcast
(mobile TV) markets.

Having raised more than $35 million in funding, Zinc Matrix Power's
investors include Power Ventures, a large private equity group,
Intel(TM) Capital and OnPoint(TM) Technologies, a strategic private
equity firm funded by the United States Army. Tyco Electronics, part
of Tyco International, is the company's global manufacturing partner.
Zinc Matrix Power batteries will be available to device manufacturers
for evaluation and testing in early 2007.

The staff at Zinc Matrix Power is made up of technology industry
veterans and is supported by Intel. The company is led by Dr. Ross
Dueber, president and CEO. Dr. Dueber was invited to speak to the
President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) in
April 2006. "PCAST's request for his presence at their meeting
signifies the tremendous interest our battery technology is generating
within governmental and commercial sectors," says Arthur N. Budge,
Jr., chairman of Zinc Matrix Power. "We believe our battery has the
potential to change the game much like lithium-ion did with its
introduction in the early 90s."
