"Boston-Power is committed to a vision of what's possible in the next generation of lithium-ion battery technology, and we're humbled by the strong support that our innovation is receiving from the marketplace," said Dr. Lampe-Onnerud. "Our first product line, Sonata, targets the opportunity in notebook computers and we're excited to be unveiling it at DEMO."

"From the start, we knew we needed more than just a PR agency - we required a trusted business partner," Dr Lampe-Onnerud continued. "CHEN PR met that requirement. Not only does the agency provide invaluable counsel in media and analyst relations, the team provides insights and guidance on a host of areas that extend beyond PR. The relationship is a perfect match for us, with each side continually challenging the other to deliver its best results."

"Everyone wants better batteries for their portable devices," said CHEN PR Co-Founder and Principal Chris Carleton. "Boston-Power is making that happen. We're honored to represent the company and help launch its products at a highly regarded event like DEMO 07.
