The new fuel cell system is called the Fuel Cell ABC(tm) Automatic Battery Charger and is designed to charge a variety of batteries. This includes a MP3 player or Apple iPod® which can be connected to the inbuilt USB charging port. The Fuel Cell ABC can simultaneously charge an iPod, a laptop (via the standard wall outlet socket) and mobile phone (via the standard 'cigar lighter' outlet).

The Fuel Cell ABC is an environmentally friendly portable generator that produces quiet AC mains electricity (either US standard 110v 60Hz or EU standard 230v 50Hz). The Fuel Cell ABC charger can also simultaneously run 12v DC electrical appliances that are designed to fit into a car cigar lighter socket, as well as being suitable for directly recharging batteries which are often used in remote locations to power a wide variety of measuring and monitoring equipment. As with all Voller's fuel cell products, the new charger does not produce any noxious emissions, so it is ideally suited to indoor or even underground use.

The ABC charger is the fourth generation fuel cell charger to have been launched by Voller since 2002. As well as a range of new software features, a new improved canister release mechanism and new pricing - the unit has a radically improved appearance to the former model (VE100v3) and features a USB charging port for charging electronic equipment such as MP3 players or iPods.

Stephen Voller, founder and CEO of Voller Energy commented: "The market for fuel cells is expected to grow rapidly and we continue to be an important innovator in the market. The Fuel Cell ABC is extremely user-friendly and can be used in a wide range of applications where portable and safe power is required. From personal appliances such as an iPod or a laptop, to commercial appliances such as cordless power tools, this charger offers a highly adaptable and environmentally friendly technology."
