FOLSOM, California–August 13, 2014~ Altergy Systems (“Altergy”), a global leader in the design, manufacture, sales, marketing and deployment of clean and green hydrogen fuel cell power systems, announced today that it has entered into a binding term sheet with EnerSys Delaware, Inc. (NYSE: ENS) in regard to arbitration proceedings held before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).
