Newer Technology Offers Incentive for Protecting the Environment With its New Battery Rebate Program

Rebate program rewards environmental responsibility by giving customers $19
for sending in old Apple laptop batteries when they purchase a high-capacity
NuPower battery

WOODSTOCK, Ill. (November 29, 2005)  Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech?)
has long encouraged its customers to take care of the environment by
properly disposing of their old laptop batteries.

Today it launched the NewerTech battery recycling program, designed to
reward customers who help in that effort with some additional ?green.¹

The new program allows customers to send in their old Apple or third-party
PowerBook or iBook batteries and receive a $19 rebate for each NewerTech
replacement battery purchased. The battery type sent in for rebate must be
the same type as the battery purchased. If the customer wishes to return
additional batteries, NewerTech will see they are properly disposed of even
though the rebate will not apply.

³Improper disposal of laptop batteries can harm our environment, and we want
to make it easy for our customers to do the right thing,² said Larry
O¹Connor, president of NewerTech. ³Sending your old battery to us is not
only a convenient and responsible way to ensure proper disposal, but now it
pays $19 for each one that is replaced with a NuPower battery.²

The additional environmental benefit of NewerTech¹s high-capacity NuPower?
batteries lies in their exceptional quality. Using only the best available
components, NuPower batteries are designed, engineered and built in the USA
using superior Lithium-Ion cells from Japan and/or Canada ensures they have
a longer useful life.

³Our insistence on only the highest quality for NuPower batteries is good
news for our customers and for the environment,² O¹Connor said. ³Because
NuPower batteries don¹t need to be replaced as often as others, there¹s a
?green¹ aspect that can¹t be beat - less waste and less spent on replacing
batteries. It¹s a win-win situation all the way around.²

NewerTech¹s laptop batteries, available for most Apple iBook and PowerBook
models including all current Apple models, start at $119.99 and offer as
much as 50 percent more capacity than Apple¹s stock batteries.
