Arotech Corporation Analyst Notes

On March 6, 2014, Arotech Corporation (Arotech) announced advancement in the development of an iron flow battery to provide storage for grid power by its Battery and Power Systems Division. The Company informed that the announcement has come after achieving promising results in lab tests, and that the Company has also filed a patent application covering this new technology. "We are very pleased with the results from lab tests on this new technology, which opens a huge new market for us. While flow batteries themselves are not new technologies, with over fifty flow batteries installed globally as at the end of last year, our design uses a patent-pending iron chemistry providing the highest ROI, with the lowest total lifecycle, capital and maintenance costs. While this will be a multi-year development effort until commercialization, we believe that given the sheer size of the market, which is expected to exceed $400 billion by 2020, this is a project highly worthy of our R&D investment," said Robert S. Ehrlich, Chairman and CEO of Arotech. The full analyst notes on Arotech Corporation are available to download free of charge at:
