Voller Energy to use Palcan PC-150 fuel cell stack

London, England and Vancouver, Canada (PRWEB) 9 June 2003 -- Voller Energy and Palcan Fuel Cells Ltd. are pleased to announce that Voller Energy has selected Palcans PC-150 Fuel Cell Stack as the power source in Voller Energys VE100 Portable Fuel Cell system.

Voller Energy is a leading European manufacturer of portable fuel cell systems. The company designs battery rechargers and mobile generator products that are portable to provide silent, clean, safe and reliable remote power. The new Voller Energy VE100 hand held product is approximately the size and weight of a laptop computer or portable typewriter and provides both DC and AC output. This means any electrical device that has an ordinary mains or wall socket plug can be plugged into the VE100, just as if the user was plugging into a mains electrical supply at home or in the office. The VE100 also has a 13.8v DC 'cigar lighter or automotive type electrical socket which can be used to recharge a battery in a mobile phone or laptop, or to recharge an automobile battery.

Stephen Voller, CEO of Voller Energy said, we are delighted with the VE100 and we are impressed with the robust reliable performance of the Palcan PC-150. In tests the Palcan stack stood up to considerable wear and tear. We are confident that with our system and the Palcan stack, we are offering an excellent product in the VE100."

John Shen, CEO of Palcan said, we are pleased to have the opportunity to demonstrate our stack in the commercial launch of Voller Energys VE100."
