2. THE COMPANY
• HET owns world-wide rights to the Rechargeable Alkaline battery
technology.
• HET’s Rechargeable Alkaline in small format sizes (RAMcells) have
been sold at retail and with several OEM products since 1994.
• HET is now completing the development of a large format, flat plate
Rechargeable Alkaline (RAM) battery that will be one of the most
cost effective and environmentally responsible batteries in the
world.
• This battery will target the $45 billion lead acid battery market.
• The Rechargeable Alkaline technology was initially developed by
the same scientist that invented the single-use alkaline battery
technology.
• 35 patents issued with over $40 million spent on R&D.
• Several strategic partnerships are in place for development,
manufacturing and sales.
3. RECENT MARKET DEVELOPMENTS
• In 2011 China closed over 1,000 lead-acid
battery plants due to health issues related to
toxic lead.
• Lithium battery fires/explosions.
• Raw material price fluctuations.
• NiCd batteries banned in Europe due to
health issues related to toxic cadmium.
• Japan closes nuclear power plants

6. SMALL FORMAT RAMCELLS
• Ready to use out of the package with
industry leading 7-year shelf life.
• Hassle free - can be recharge at any
time with no memory effect.
• 100-1000 recharges depending on
use and frequency of recharging.
• 1.5 volts compared to 1.2 for nickel
based rechargeable batteries.
• Available in AAA, AA, C and D sizes
and 12, 9 and 6 volt battery packs.
• Low cost, and readily available active
materials.
• The only consumer battery to be

7. RETAIL SALES
• RAMcell is the lowest cost
rechargeable battery and the only
one that can replace disposable
alkaline batteries in every
application.
• RAMcells have been sold under
several brands and retailer private
labels since 1994.
• Available in Canada, US, Mexico,
Europe, South Africa, Australia, India
and several Asian countries.
• Sales in China are expected to start
in early 2013.
8. OEM SALES
• RAMcells are now being used in a
growing number of OEM products.
• RAMcells are being used to
replace NiCd, NiMH, lithium, lead
acid and single-use batteries.
• A recent focus on LED lighting
products that have historically
used lead acid batteries has
resulted in significant new
business with products now
available at Wal-Mart US, Home
Depot US, West Marine, Pep Boys
and others.
9. RAMCELL MANUFACTURING
• ISO 9001 certified plant located
in Nova Scotia, Canada.
• 40,000-sq. ft. facility on 10.5
acres of industrial land with
room for expansion.
• Two automated lines with a
total annual capacity of over
100 million AA and AAA
batteries with:
• Assembly
• Processing
• Packaging
• QC operations

18. THE ENVIRONMENTAL ADVANTAGE
• In the US alone, it is estimated that 3
billion batteries end up in landfills each
year.
• This equates to over 100,000 tons of
new battery waste entering landfills
each year.
• The major toxic materials used in
batteries include lead, cadmium,
mercury, and nickel – all are
considered carcinogenic to humans.
• RAMcells contain no toxic materials
• Using RAMcells will significantly
reduce the amount of heavy metals
and waste entering landfill sites.
