development of this product by Willis
and am glad that Wico has given me
the opportunity to distribute it in my
line of promotion products. The signs

Marathon 1 0:
re chargeable
power pock
Responding to the consumer demand
for a highly rechargeable, lightweight
PLAY MITER. De ce mber 1, 198 2
power source capable of delivering up
to eight hours of portable VCR (video
cassette recorder) operating time,
Enerlite Products Corporation intro-
duces the Enerlite Marathon 10, a 3.5
pound nickel cadm ium power pack .
Enerlite is the developer, manufac-
turer, and distributor of quality pro-
ducts employing unvented nicad cells,
including the Search Light, a high
intensity , professiona l-quality
rechargeable flashlight.
The Enerlite Marathon 10 is the first
auxiliary nicad power pack designed
specifically for the consumer market.
According to the manufacturer's spec-
ifications, it can match or outperform
any of the 12 volt , 4 amp pro-industrial
power packs that typically sell in the
$500 range. The Marathon 10 has a
suggested list price of $169.95.
The Enerlite Marathon 10 power
pack is produced in compliance with a
strict Quality Assurance Program that
includes 100 percent in-progress and
final inspections. Among the technol-
ogies employed that enable the Enerlite
Marathon 10 to provide high energy,
long life , and reliability is a fully auto-
mated , robotic-like, resistance spot
welding process that assure maximum
contact between battery cells.
The housing or plastic casing, is
designed in such a way that all cells are
mechanically locked in place , thereby
eliminating cell movement. The casting
consists of a flame retardant, high
impact, special purpose [Acyro-Nitrite
Butadiene Styrene] plastic with a
built-in loop accepting a belt or
shoulder strap.

Poe-Man's a
good sport
The Enerlite Marathon 10 weighs
3.5 pounds and is capable of delivering
approximately I ,000-1 ,500 charge /
discharge cycles and a four to eight
hour VCR range, depending on equip-
ment used and battery condition.
Other equipment on today's market
with comparable applications weigh
from 6-15 pounds , are rechargeable
for a maximum of 150 cycles, and
don't offer flame retardant construc-
tion. Additionally, in contrast to the
current lead acid battery packs, the
Enerlite Mara1hon 10 will not be
damaged if overcharged or left dis-
charged, company officals claim.
The Enerlite Marathon 10 employs
unvented nicad cells with excellent
electrical characteristics. By using the
special nicad cells, the Enerlite Mara-
thon /0 designers eliminated electro-
lyte loss.
They also provide materials for a
newly developed separator that pro-
vides high ion mobility with stability.
The result of these combined technol-
ogies is high energy density (low
weight) and long-term reliability .
