PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESSWIRE / April 26, 2016 / NovoFuel, Inc. ("NovoFuel"), a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of AlumiFuel Power Corporation (OTC Pink: AFPW), announced today that the first two of its high capacity lithium-ion battery products are now in production and will be available for purchase by customers shortly. (See NovoFuel news release of November 19, 2015).

Through NovoFuel's world-class partners, Lithium Battery Engineering, LLC (www.lithiumbatteryengineering.com) and Custom Electronics, Inc. (www.customelec.com), state-of-the-art high capacity lithium-ion batteries are now being produced under the NovoFuel brand in response to rapidly expanding backup and portable power market opportunities. NovoFuel's custom lithium-ion product line includes a 2.5kWh 24V battery, a 3.5kWh 48V battery, and a 5kWh-7.5kWh 48V battery. The first product is the 2.5kWh battery -- available for customer orders in high power and high energy versions. Photos and technical specifications of these batteries, along with ordering information, will be posted shortly on the AlumiFuel Power website (www.alumifuelpowercorp.com).

The NovoFuel batteries can be used for numerous portable and backup power applications. Portable applications include first-responder, military mission-critical field operations, job sites, and camping. For backup power applications, NovoFuel will market the batteries as a stand-alone product, and as part of our overall hybrid RES solution strategy. This is a huge and rapidly growing market, as there is increasing global recognition of the role of large lithium-ion batteries for energy storage as a backup power source. According to a 2015 forecast by Lux Research, the stationary energy storage market will climb from $1.5 billion in 2016 to $6.5 billion in 2020.

Target market applications include: small business & home backup and supplemental power; telecom cell sites; rapidly expanding and power-hungry legal cannabis grow operations; medical device emergency power; new technology LED streetlights now being installed in many municipalities; and a variety of outdoor and remote applications where grid power is unavailable or insufficient -- including farming, mining, construction sites and oilfield operations, as well as rural and remote off-grid electrification needs in developing countries.

"NovoFuel batteries have a strong value proposition vis-à-vis the competition," said NovoFuel President and CEO, David Cade. "We are very excited to be entering such a large and growing marketplace with this new generation of reliable, safe, long-life, high capacity lithium-ion batteries. This is a game-changer for the backup power market," concluded Cade.
