SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
LHV Power (formerly known as HiTek Power Corporation) spins off Flux Power, to
be led by Aptera Cofounder Chris Anthony. This new company will provide life
extending Lithium Battery technology including battery management and
monitoring, advanced display and diagnostics, and smart charging systems. 

"I`ve heard the same message repeatedly from numerous clients: `We need a
complete drop in solution that will manage, charge, and provide usable
diagnostic feedback for our cells,`" says James Gevarges, President and CEO of
LHV Power Corporation. "Flux Power products will provide for all of these needs
and more in an easily adaptable format allowing customers to quickly create
prototypes, ramping to small production with an easy, cost reduction path for
high volume OEM`s," he adds. 

Flux Power has developed innovative high power battery cell management systems
that have proven to greatly extend cycle life. The company couples this with a
robust communication system that can operate in harsh conditions to provide
accurate and timely data on numerous cell metrics. These cell metrics are
continually recorded for system diagnostics and warranty analysis. To display
all of this data Flux Power has a suite of display systems and diagnostic
utilities to help clients get the most value out of the information available. 

In addition, Flux Power has smart charging systems that are versatile and
stackable to multiple charging configurations while communicating directly with
each cell to make sure the most beneficial charge is available. Flux Power`s
latest technology allows multiple chargers to be used in unison to create high
voltage and/or high current charging while maintaining Flux`s battery life
extending charge methodologies. 

"The Lithium vs Lead Acid cost equation simply does not favor Lithium Technology
unless each lithium cell is effectively managed throughout every charge and
discharge cycle," says Chris Anthony, CEO of Flux Power Incorporated. "Now that
we have developed an effective system to manage and record the life cycle of a
lithium cell, it opens a vast array of applications to use high power lithium
versus other energy storage methods. From large EV to peak shaving to back-up
power solutions, Flux Power`s systems finally make Lithium the most
technologically advanced and cost effective option for tomorrow`s power
demands." 

Flux Power will launch its first suite of products in November of this year.
