We urge all persons responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the registration statement reviewed by us to ensure that they have provided all information investors require for an informed decision.

If China BAK Battery requests acceleration of the registration statement`s effectiveness, China BAK Battery should furnish a letter at the time of the request, acknowledging that: * Should the Commission or the staff acting by delegated authority declare the registration statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action on the filing. * The action of the Commission or the staff acting by delegated authority in declaring the registration statement effective does not relieve China BAK Battery from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the registration statement`s disclosures. * China BAK Battery may not assert our comments or the declaration of the registration statement`s effectiveness as a defense in any proceedings initiated by the Commission or any person under the United States` federal securities laws. The Commission`s Division of Enforcement has access to all information that China BAK Battery provides us in our review of the registration statement or in response to our comments on the registration statement.
