READING, Pa., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ –

EnerSys (NYSE: ENS), the world’s largest manufacturer, marketer and
distributor of industrial batteries, today announced a general price increase
of 6%. This price increase will be effective on orders placed starting January
1, 2006 on its motive power and reserve power products.

transportation and utility costs," said Ray Kubis, president - EnerSys Europe.
"Electricity costs, which are a significant input in battery production, have
been adding to the cost pressures."

"We want to assure our customers that we continue to drive to sustain our
industry leading position in product development and customer service," said
John Shea, executive vice president - Americas. "In order to maintain this
position we find this price increase necessary."
