Battery startup replaces CEO with industry veteran
McDougall is a battery industry veteran and has held senior management positions in North America, Asia and Europe in the battery and printed electronics industries.
The company did not give a reason for the replacement of Woschitz but said that his appointment had been temporary.
ReVolt was formed as a spinoff from Norwegian contract research institute Sintef in 2004. The company's founder and chief technology officer, Trygve Burchardt, has developed rechargeable zinc-air battery technology, which the company claims delivers substantially higher energy density at a competitive price compared to other rechargeable batteries and could replace lithium-ion batteries currently used in portable applications.
ReVolt has raised 22 million euro (about $34 million) in total, and a new financing round of 10 million euro (about $15 million) was completed in June 2007. The main investors in ReVolt are Northzone Ventures, Sinvent, Sofinnova Partners, TVM Capital, Verdane Capital and Viking Venture.

This month Keithley Instruments is giving away two of its Model 2200 power supplies, worth 735 Euros each, for EETimes Europe's readers to win. The Model 2200-20-5: 20V, 5A, 100W on offer is one of five general-purpose programmable DC power supplies recently launched by the company, designed for source measurement instruments for component, module, and device characterization and test applications.
Part of the Series 2200 family, the unit’s voltage output accuracy is specified at 0.03% and its current output accuracy is 0.05%. The supply’s high output (1mV) and measurement (0.1mA) resolution makes it well-suited for characterizing low power circuits and devices in applications such as measuring idle mode and sleep mode currents to confirm devices can meet today’s ever-more-challenging goals for energy efficiency.
And the winners are:
In our previous reader offer, EPC was giving away ten of its EPC9002 development board kits, worth USD 95 each.
Lucky winners include I. Blythe and C. Hardman from the UK, M. Casartelli and D. Cogliati from Italy, C. Cossio from Spain, W. Milarch from Germany, r. Milewicz from Poland, M. Prascak from Slovakia, A. Raidl from Austria and M. Taslakov from Bulgaria.
All should be receiving their kits soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with their projects.
