Olympic Team

RALEIGH, NC, APRIL 10, 1996 -- Exide Electronics Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:
XUPS), the exclusive provider of Strategic Power Managementtm solutions,

Edition uninterruptible power system (UPS), an Official Licensed Product
of the 1996 U.S. Olympic Team.

"Exide Electronics is proud to support the 1996 U.S. Olympic Team," said
James Risher, chief executive officer. "We take pride in knowing that each
purchase of this product helps to support America's Olympic athletes."

The Powerware Prestige 1500 EXT 1996 U.S. Olympic Team Edition is a true
on-line UPS ready to use straight out of the box. Continuous on-line power
protection supplies conditioned power at all times, creating clean power

brownouts and sags, therefore minimizing battery usage. Extended battery
packs have external connections that allow for "hot- swapping" without
interrupting power to the load.
