JOBO AG also introduces at PMA 08 its new line of JOBO Energy PREMIO rechargeable batteries
for today’s most popular digital cameras and camcorders. The JOBO Energy PREMIO battery line has
been developed specifically for use with digital SLRs, compact point-and-shoot digital cameras and
camcorders. In total there are about 300 battery models (mostly Lithium-ion, but some NiMH), 60 of
the most common of them will be readily available for the 400 most popular camera models.

The new JOBO Energy PREMIO battery line is packaged with an easy to match color coding system
making it easy for retailers and consumers to find the right replacement battery for their digital camera
or camcorder model. Users simply match the color coded packaging to their camera model.

These new JOBO batteries provide a constant capacity across many charging cycles (300 to 500
depending on usage). JOBO PREMIO batteries do not have a memory effect, are high current capable
and quick charge capable. JOBO conducts regular quality control for the whole PREMIO line to ensure
high product quality. Precision contacts guarantee maximum energy transfer between the battery and
the imaging device. A built-in fuse protects the battery’s electronic microchip against short circuiting,
overcharging and overheating. All JOBO batteries are ISO 9001 / 9002 / QS 9000 certified.
