We found an old SEC press release that stated that Ultralife Batteries, now known as Ultralife Corp under the stock ticker ULBI was awarded a contract by Harris to develop a high-capacity rechargeable lithium ion battery pack for use with the Harris Falcon(R) II multiband handheld radio and since the AN\/PRC-152 radios series use the name Falcon it\u2019s a possibility and more research would need to be done to see who is actually manufacturing the batteries.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a battery manufacturer or distributor of batteries you are probably well aware of who might be making the batteries for Harris Corporation, or it may very well be Harris.<\/p>\n<p>BidLink is a provider of DoD procurement research tools and has been a leading provider of industry marketing data relating to DoD procurement and solicitations for the past 18 years.
