Newark, New York – December 26, 2007 – Ultralife Batteries, Inc.

For customer confidentiality reasons, Ultralife is not able to disclose either the customer’s name or details about this order.
“We are pleased by this customer’s recognition of Ultralife’s engineering capabilities in awarding us a total of over $100 million worth of orders for advanced communications systems,” said John D.
