BatLOCK(TM) -- The Solution to All Battery Problems

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 27, 2005 -- Pathfinder Management, Inc. (PMI) today unveiled BatLOCK(TM) -- a complete line of battery accessories specifically engineered to solve every problem associated with connecting or disconnecting batteries. BatLOCK(TM) enables fast and easy tool less installation and removal of batteries, reducing the likelihood of battery explosions, unauthorized use, vandalism, theft, or personal injury.

When installed, BatLOCK(TM) provides a tighter connection than the traditional nut and bolt assembly -- in fact, BatLOCK(TM) provides the tightest connection system ever offered. The products are completely vibration and corrosion resistant and most have a special corrosion breaking hook and loop system.

"I am impressed with the operational efficiency of the BatLOCK(TM) system," states Dale Glubrecht, Director of Electrical Engineering, EVI-USA. "BatLOCK(TM) could be used for any battery connection where we must disconnect [the battery] often for service. It is an ingenious device that has many, many uses outside of battery contacts ... terminal fast connections, I could go on ... ad nauseam."

BatLOCK(TM) currently includes products for batteries found in standard vehicles, light and heavy duty trucks, recreational vehicles (RVs), heavy and construction equipment, tractors, bulldozers, lawn mowers, golf carts, and other lawn and garden equipment. Products for watercrafts and 18-wheel tractor-trailer fleets will be available by first quarter 2006.

"BatLOCK(TM) will ensure greater efficiency and safety for those companies and consumers requiring rapid and frequent battery changes and maintenance. We have contacted numerous companies and received great response from Public Works departments and tractor-trailer fleets as well as dealerships, tools and hardware distributors, and manufacturers of heavy and construction equipment," reported Mitch Gray, president and CEO of Pathfinder Management, Inc.

The various BatLOCK(TM) products are available in bulk quantities as well as packaged separately for retail sale.
