In terms of capabilities, our years of experience enables us to design high quality non-rechargeable cells, non-rechargeable and rechargeable battery packs, battery chargers, racks and cases for Edge computer servers, RF amplifiers, and more for critical applications. So, as you can see, although we are proud of our heritage, we are always looking at ways to expand our product portfolio to serve next-gen technical requirements and emerging markets.
