Exide Technologies, (Nasdaq:XIDE) (www.exide.com), a global leader in stored
electrical energy solutions, launches the first of its kind European battery
finder application for the iPhone.
The Exide Technologies Battery Finder application, available as a free download

right replacement battery for their light and/or commercial vehicle.
Customers can select Exide-brand batteries as well as batteries for Exide's
other major European brands, according to the selected country perimeter:
Centra, Deta, Fulmen, Sonnak and Tudor. The battery finder is available in 12

With the Exide Technologies Battery Finder app, the user can select the right
battery for their vehicle by entering any of the following vehicle information:
plate or registration number, vehicle make and model, or any well-known battery
part number.
After each battery search, the user is provided with useful information to help
select the appropriate battery depending on typical vehicle use. This also
includes information such as battery specifications, pictures and fitment
possibilities.
'The launch of the Exide Technologies Battery Finder app marks a revolution in
catalogue usage,' says Magnus Ohlsson, Exide's Vice President, Sales and
Marketing, Aftermarket Europe. 'This innovation provides our customers with a
comprehensive, user-friendly tool which will make their life easier on a daily
basis. With just a few clicks, they can find the right battery for their
vehicle anytime, anywhere.'
The Exide Technologies Battery Finder app was developed together with TecDoc,
