Medis will introduce its fuel cell power packs as a secondary power source for portable electronic devices together with a UK mobile operator. They had previously announced Agreement with a major mobile operator in the United States.

Medis Technologies’ primary focus is on direct liquid fuel cell technology. Its business strategy is to sell its products to end users through retail outlets and service providers. Medis has also developed the CellScan with many potential applications relating to disease diagnostics and chemo sensitivity. Additionally, Medis’ product pipeline includes other technologies, in varying stages of development.

The disposable Power Pack is a portable auxiliary power source that delivers far longer operating time than any of today's batteries. It provides power to operate and charge even the most modern cell phones (including the most advanced "3G" cell phones with a full range of functionality), digital cameras, PDAs, MP3 players, hand-held video games and other devices with similar power requirements. When a device’s battery is running low or is discharged, the Power Pack allows the continued use of the device while at the same time charging the battery.

Key Power Pack Features

• Patent pending power management system provides the capability of charging a number of different devices using inexpensive connectors that access the particular device's battery.
• When used to power a cell phone, each disposable Power Pack is expected to deliver the equivalent of 20 hours of talk time, or about  five to six full charges of the battery, depending on the individual cell phone power consumption and battery type.
• Before its use, the Power Pack is expected to have a shelf life in excess of a year. Once it is started, the disposable Power Pack is expected to be usable for four to six weeks.
• The disposable Power Pack has an anticipated maximum size of 80 x 50 x 30 mm (3.2 x 2 x 1.2 inches) and anticipated weight of  150 grams when full.
