Registration Statement on Form S-4
(File No. 333-174733)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Pursuant to Rule 461(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, Exide Technologies (the “Registrant”), hereby requests that the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S 4 (File No. 333-174733) (the “Registration Statement”) be accelerated so that the Registration Statement becomes effective at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, on Friday, August 12, 2011, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

     No underwriter is or will be involved in the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement, and a preliminary prospectus has not been distributed.

     The Registrant acknowledges that should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the Commission staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing, and the action of the Commission or the Commission staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing. The Registrant also acknowledges that it may not assert Staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
