Fuel cells vs. batteries

� What are fuel cells

• Direct conversion of fuel into electricity

• Electrochemical catalyzed reactions

� Fuel + oxidant electricity

• Fuel once consumed, needs to be replaced

� What are batteries

• Two types – primary and secondary

• Primary – single use then discard

• Secondary – rechargeable

� Recharging – electric current to convert spent chemicals

Page 5: Neah Power Investor Presentation

Battery Technology Challenges

� Demand for longer runtime

� Lithium-ion batteries

• Heavy

• Safety concerns

• Inefficient performance

� Power gap, demand vs. available energy

• Power hungry features

• Increased use in mobile environments

• Limited battery technology
