(Market Wire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) LIVERMORE, CA, February 6 / MARKET WIRE/ --

UltraCell Corporation, a leading producer of
reformed methanol fuel cells (RMFCs) for mobile power applications, today
announced that the company's XX25(TM) best micro fuel cell platform with
hybrid battery and extended runtime fuel options, garnered the prestigious
"Best Soldier System Innovation & Technology" at the Soldier Technology
U.S. 2008 Conference.

Conference officials honored the product displaying the most innovation,
technological advancement and capability to contribute to the modernization
of the solider. The Best Soldier System award was the only award given out
among the conference exhibitors.

"We're thrilled the Conference honored the XX25 fuel cell system in this
way," said Frank Beafore, vice president of UltraCell's Ohio operations.
"This award helps to promote fuel cells as a viable alternative, and
underscores the company's success in developing a longer-lasting,
lightweight power solution for military applications."

The Soldier Technology conferences gather military, research and industry
experts to discuss the latest trends and technologies for the advancement
of the modern soldier. Soldier Technology is the largest solider
modernization conference in Europe and launched its first conference in the
United States in January 2008.

UltraCell's RMFC technology -- fueled by methanol, a renewable, lightweight
fuel -- provides uninterrupted power for extended periods at a considerable
weight advantage over existing battery solutions. The rugged design of the
XX25 makes it suitable for the most demanding of environments, and its
compatibility with military equipment make it an ideal portable power
solution for military applications.
