IMPORTANT REMINDER TO VOTE YOUR PROXY

December 13, 2010

Dear C&D Technologies Stockholder:

You recently received proxy materials in connection with a special meeting of stockholders of C&D Technologies, Inc. This meeting has been adjourned until 3 P.M. Eastern Standard Time on Monday, December 20, 2010. According to our latest records, your PROXY VOTE for this meeting HAS NOT YET BEEN RECEIVED.

TIME IS SHORT AND YOUR VOTE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, NO

MATTER HOW MANY OR HOW FEW SHARES YOU MAY OWN.

PLEASE VOTE TODAY.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” all of the proposals to allow the company to complete the restructuring outlined in the proxy material previously sent to you. In the event the restructuring is not completed, the company will be forced to seek protection under federal BANKRUPTCY laws. ANY ALTERNATIVE PLAN OF REORGANIZATION OR LIQUIDATION MAY RESULT IN OUR COMMON STOCKHOLDERS RECEIVING NO CONSIDERATION IN RESPECT OF THEIR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

Your vote is important to us and we need your support. A failure to cast any vote on the restructuring will have the same effect as a vote against certain of the proposals necessary for the company to complete the restructuring. Therefore, regardless of the number of shares you own, it is very important that they be represented at the meeting.

Time is short — please vote your proxy by telephone or Internet today!

    VOTE BY TOUCHTONE PHONE: You may cast your vote by calling the toll-free number on the enclosed proxy card. Follow the instructions on your proxy card to cast your ballot.

•    VOTE THROUGH THE INTERNET: You may cast your vote by logging onto the Internet address located on the enclosed proxy card and follow the instructions on the website.

•    VOTE BY MAIL: You may cast your vote by mail by signing, dating and mailing the enclosed proxy card in the postage-prepaid return envelope provided.

Thank you in advance for your support and for acting promptly.

On behalf of your Board of Directors,

Sincerely,

Kevin P. Dowd, Chairman of the Board
