Dear Mr. Mancuso:
Please find below our responses to the Commission’s June 23, 2010 comments pertaining to the Form S-1, Amendment Number 2, filed by GreenCell, Incorporated (hereafter referred to as the “we”, or “us” or “our”) as of this date.
Table of Contents, page 2
Response to Comment 1
We have reviewed the Division of Corporation Finance’s (the “Division”) guidance and determined that the following disclosure included in Amendment No. 1 is inconsistent with Securities Act Section 12 and has been deleted:
“You should assume that the information in this Prospectus is accurate as of the date on the front of this Prospectus only. Our business, financial and results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.”

Our Business, page 3
Response to Comment 2
We have revised the “Our Business” section to describe the nature of the igniter product we are currently developing indicated by the bolded statement below:
“We are in the business of developing gas appliance igniters, oxygen sensors, fuel cells and brake pads using SenCer Inc.’s (hereafter referred to as “SenCer”) proprietary technologies for the automotive, home appliance and cooling industries.We are currently developing our UltraTemp Ceramic igniter, which is designed to create a strong and durable bond between any ceramic or metal conductor to our proprietary fiber matrix composite designated as UltraTemp-C for use as a gas systems igniter in gas appliances, gas heating systems, outdoor appliances, water heaters, and fuel cells.”

We face intellectual property rights, page 7
Response to Comments 5, 6, and 7
We have reviewed our risk disclosure regarding intellectual property rights and determined that the matters addressed in comments 5, 6, and 7 are immaterial risks that could generally be applied to any company at a similar stage of development and/or in possession of similar intellectual property; accordingly, those matters do not constitute appropriate risk disclosure under the materiality concepts of the federal securities laws or the Commission’s Plain English rules and we have deleted them from our disclosure. We do not believe that there is a current material risk that claims may be brought against us for patent infringement (Comment 5) or competitors developing technology will obtain priority to intellectual property claims before we obtain patent protection (Comment 6), because our intellectual property is sufficiently unique. For the same reason, we believe there is no specific or implied basis upon which to believe that there iscurrent unauthorized use of our intellectual property (Comment 7).
Although we disclosethat we and SenCer intend to jointly file patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, there remains a material risk that we will not file for patent protection because we do not have adequate financial resources to do so or otherwise. Accordingly, we have revised our intellectual property to only reflect that risk, as follows:
Because we have not filed for patent protection of our technologies, we face the risk of our technologies not being adequately protected.
We have not applied to patent protection of our licensed technologies or processes with the US Patent and Trademark Office; if we fail to do so, we may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property, especially if the designs and materials used in our products are replicated by our competitors. Further, even if we file for patent protection, there is no assurance that it will be approved by the US Patent and Trademark Office.

There are potential and actual conflicts, page 11
Response to Comment 9
We have added the following additional disclosure (bolded only in this correspondence for illustrative purposes herein) to explain the nature of each conflict:
There are potential conflicts of interest between us and our officers, directors, consultants and companies that they are affiliated with that may favor their interests over our interests and that of our shareholders
We have potential conflicts of interests involving our officers, directors, consultants and companies that they are related to, as follows:
| • | | David Burt, our Chief Technology Officer/Director, owns 51% of our co-founder, SenCer, and is its President;therefore, there is a potential conflict of interest between David Burt’s ownership interest wherein David Burt may favor the interests of SenCer over our interests, by devoting a disproportionate amount of his work to SenCer rather than us; |
| • | | Samuel Reeder, our Director, is also a Director of SenCer. Reeder Ventures, Inc. (“Reeder Ventures”), a company under Samuel Reeder’s control. Reeder Ventures and Samuel Reeder individually loaned SenCer a total of $1,213,000, which Reeder Ventures loans are convertible into 4208 Class A voting shares or 28.6% of SenCer’s Class A shares and 5746 Class B non-voting shares or 35% of the Class B shares. Therefore, there is a potential conflict of interest between Samuel Reeder’s present and/or future financial or equity interests in SenCer and our interests. Additional details regarding these loans are located at page 40; |
| • | | Dan Valladao, our President/Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer/Chief Accounting Officer/Chairman of the Board, is also the Chief Executive Officer of our co-founder, General Automotive, and owns 24% of its outstanding shares;therefore, there is a potential conflict of interest between Dan Valladao’s officer and director positions with us and General Automotive and whether he will favor the interests of General Automotive over our interests; and. |
| • | | We have employment agreements with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer providing for officer salaries and Board of Director awarded bonuses, which are detailed beginning on page 32 of this Prospectus;therefore, there is a potential conflict of interest between the financial incentives we provide to them and our interests. |
Our founders/officers/directors/consultants may favor their own interests over yours, which may lead to actual conflicts of interest and may cause our potential profitability to be negatively affected.

Location at page 12.
Please note that we have eliminated the following previously included conflicts, which we now believe are immaterial: (a) we do not believe that the 2% gross sales payments to SenCer are a potential or actual conflict of interest because there is an incentive by SenCer to provide the igniter technology licensing or the sale of the igniter process to receive the 2% payments; (b) we do not believe that payment of our shares coupled with General Automotive’s payment of their shares to Emerging Markets Consulting, LLC and Byrd and Company, LLC are conflicts because although they hold ownership in both us and General Automotive, they no longer perform services for General Automotive; and (c) we do not believe that SenCer and General Automotive each owning 36.18% of our outstanding shares is a conflict because their respective ownership is aligned with their providing services to us.
Response to Comment 10
In each instance where the shares were transferred by Byrd & Company, LLC or Emerging Markets Consulting, LLC: (a) the transfers occurred prior to the registration statement being filed; (b) although the transferees are selling security holders, none of the shares so transferred were registered pursuant to the S-1 Registration Statement; (c) the transfers were valid sales reflecting consideration by the transferor and the transferee and/or valid gifts under the federal securities laws. Also see our disclosure under “Selling Security Holders” at 2) and 3).
The common stock shares being offered in this Prospectus are an illiquid investment and their transferability…page 13
Response to Comment 11
We have revised the last sentence to remove any implication of imposing requirements on investors that are inconsistent with the Securities Act, including Securities Act Section 14.
This risk factor now states the following:
The common stock shares being offered in this Prospectus are an illiquid investment and their transferability is subject to significant restriction.
There is presently no market for the common stock shares that the selling shareholders are offering, and we cannot be certain that a public market will become available, or that there will be sufficient liquidity to allow for their sale of transferability within the near future, or at all. Even if we do obtain a quotation, there is no assurance that a sufficiently active market will develop to sell your shares. Accordingly, the purchaser of the common stock shares should consider that there shares may be illiquid and/or present difficulties in their sale or transferability.

Selling Security Holders, page 15
Response to Comment 13
In order to rely on Securities Act Section 415(a)(1)(i), the securities to be registered must be “offered or sold solely by or on behalf of persons other than the registrant, a subsidiary of the registrant or a person of which the registrant is a subsidiary.” The common shares offered by our selling shareholders for resale pursuant to the Registration Statement were initially sold to our non-affiliate shareholders in transactions exempt from registration in reliance on Securities Act Section 4(2) for transactions not involving a public offering. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of our common shares. Pursuant to Rule 152 promulgated by the Commission, an exempt private offering will not be integrated with a subsequent public offering, even though subsequent to such private placement, the issuer decides to make a public offering and/or file a registration statement. Under SEC interpretations, the Staff has historically considered a private placement to have been “completed” for purposes of Rule 152 if commitments are in place from all investors subject only to conditions outside their control under circumstances not involving any additional investment decision.See Black Box Incorporated, 1990 SEC No-Act. LEXIS 926 (avail. June 26, 1990); Squadron, Ellenoff, Pleasant & Leher, 1992 SEC No-Act. LEXIS 363 (avail. Feb. 28, 1992).Seealso Division of Corporation Finance Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations Supplement—March 1999. Rule 415 is available for secondary resale offerings made on a continuous basis.
Giving due consideration to the requirements of Rule 502 under the Securities Act including the five factor test articulated in subsections (a) through (e) thereof, we believe that there is no basis on which the prior private placement should be integrated with the proposed resale registration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to allay any concern that the Staff may have regarding the size of the proposed offering relative to the number of our outstanding shares, we have amended the Registration Statement to reduce the number of common shares offered in Amendment Number 2, as follows: (a) the Law Office of Frederick M. Lehrer, P.A. shares, from 200,000 to 0; (b) James Byrd, Jr.’s shares, from 1,300,000 to 837,000; and (c) James Painter’s shares, from 1,350,000 to 867,000. The number of shares to be registered by other selling security holders remains the same. The total shares to be registered have been reduced by 1,146,000, from 3,955,000 to 2,809,000.

Byrd & Company will continue to perform the above services, as well as at the appropriate time, assist the company in locating a market maker to file a Form 15c2-11 application on our behalf.
Paragraph 4 of the consulting agreement between Byrd & Company, LLC and the Company (Exhibit 10.5), provides that all shares are deemed to be fully earned at the time the agreement is executed by the parties. As such, consideration has been fully paid by both parties to the agreement. Although the services are to be provided over a 12 month period, as of June 30, 2010, approximately 60% of the services have been rendered by Byrd and Company, LLC to the Company, with only 30% of the shares it holds being registered on the S-1 registration statement. None of the shares paid to Byrd & Company, LLC pertain to creating a market for the Company’s securities and represent securities, which are registered or sold solely by or on behalf of a person or persons other than the registrant, a subsidiary of the registrant or a person of which the registrants is a subsidiary. In other words, Byrd & Company, LLC is selling its securities solely for its own account and for its own investment purposes and not on behalf of the Company.
Paragraph 3 of the consulting agreement between Emerging Markets Consulting, LLC and the Company (Exhibit 10.4), provides that all shares are deemed to be fully earned at the time the agreement is executed by the parties. As such, consideration has been fully paid by both parties to the agreement. Although the services are to be provided over a 12 month period, as of June 30, 2010, approximately 40% of the services have been rendered by Emerging Markets Consulting, LLC to us, with only 30% of the shares it holds being registered on the registration statement.From February 2010 to present, the services that have already been performed are:
| 1) | Meeting with our management to determine general market positioning as a public company, creating a corporate profile for us and reviewing the profile with our management; |
6
| 2) | Conducting market research of public companies in similar technology fields and advising management on desirable capital structure, consistent with public market valuations of other similar companies; |
| 3) | Advising our management on the nuances of the public markets with regard to having our shares trading on the OTCBB as opposed to exchange trading; |
| 4) | Working with management to develop a plan and approach to marketing, public relations and investor relations once we become publicly traded; |

Response to Comment 16
We have reconciled the paragraphs before the selling security holder table with the numbers continued in the corresponding footnote by disclosing the following:
2) Byrd & Company, LLC, a Florida Limited Liability Company controlled by James Byrd, Jr. and to whom we issued 2,800,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for strategic planning and other services, transferred 200,000 of those shares to a third party, John Schoene, in a private transaction for unrelated legal services rendered. That 200,000 shares transfer resulted in Byrd & Company, LLC holding 2,600,000 shares. In addition, Mr. Byrd, through his SEP-IRA account, purchased 190,000 shares of common stock, at 10 cents per share, in our private placement. These transactions resulted in Mr. Byrd having a total of 2,790,000 shares under his control, as further detailed in the table and footnote 1 below.
3) Emerging Markets Consulting, LLC, a Florida Limited Liability Company that is controlled by James Painter, to whom we issued 2,800,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for marketing, media, shareholder and investor relations and consulting services, gifted 100,000 of those shares to two individuals in private transactions. In addition, Mr. Painter’s wife, Ryan Painter, purchased 190,000 shares of common stock, at 10 cents per share in our private placement. Therefore, these transactions resulted in Mr. Painter having a total of 2,890,000 shares under his control, as further detailed in the table and footnote 2 below.

Response to Comment 24
We have included the following additional disclosure:
General Automotive previously had a joint venture agreement dated July 22, 2008 with SenCer to develop the oxygen sensor and fuel cell technologies. That joint venture agreement was terminated as a result of, and replaced by, the current joint venture agreement dated December 6, 2009, which is attached to our filing as Exhibit 10.2. The July 22, 2008 joint venture agreement, unlike the current joint venture reflected in Exhibit 10.2, never proceeded with any business because the parties were unable to obtain funding for product development. Also, the original joint venture, unlike the current joint venture, did not include the “igniter” technology. Our co-founders, who are the parties to the joint venture agreement, required that the igniter technology be included in the joint venture for our benefit, and that we file a registration statement in an effort to become a registered SEC reporting company. Once it was determined that the business or product development plans of the original joint venture could not be met, both General Automotive and SenCer’s management determined that their respective business objectives would be better pursued by devoting their joint efforts to GreenCell, as reflected in the joint venture agreement attached as Exhibit 10.2.

Response to Comment 26
We have replaced the previous disclosure with the following:
Task 1. Igniter Development and Testing (CERIS)
The initial work has centered around the development of the proprietary conductive layers for the igniter. Conductive layers serve the purpose of providing a resistive heating element for the igniter. We have acquired final sources of all raw materials and equipment necessary to do initial and production runs. Dr. Creedon, our consultant, has provided the necessary calculations to conduct first trials of producing conductive perovskite, a material with the same type of crystal structure as calcium titanium oxide, which serves the purpose of creating the conductive resistive materials. Equipment has been acquired and installed to develop both a preliminary and production size capacity. These initial runs were in June 2010 and a round of first prototypes will be analyzed in July 2010. Once this first lot is analyzed we will focus on a first 12 volt and 24 volt finished unit, which will be used for display and testing for OEMS The 120 volt design will progress in parallel to the foregoing plan.
12
The initial design is complete and we have acquired a new production lot for the composite base. This material is 1/3 the price of the original prototypes that was developed by SenCer and the supplier has assured long term acquisition of this material, although we do not have a verbal or written agreement to ensure any prolonged acquisition of this material. We will run 2 lots of the composite base, one with the old chemistry, which is no longer available and one with the new lot. These will be analyzed to assure there is no degradation from the new chemistry.
All bench designs, which serve the purpose of testing the igniter designed to the OEM’s are complete. Additionally, we have leased and purchased several pieces of analytical equipment to assist us with final certification, including thermal expansion, particle analysis, mechanical test equipment and a high temperature reduced atmosphere furnace system. This equipment will allow us to fully characterize and test under all conditions for the igniter. Final bench programming to allow for CSA certification tests is half complete. In addition portable prototype demonstration packages are almost complete for showing potential customers a direct side by side comparison of our igniters against competitors’ igniters.
Task 2. Igniter Marketing / Patents. (CERIS).
We have developed a presentation to interest potential OEM partners. OEM partners are interested in another market source and would provide internal testing of our igniters prior to purchase. Once the initial prototypes are complete we will have our patent attorneys, Brian Shaw of Harter Secrest & Emery, LLP, conduct a patent review of the first 2 patents.
Task 3. Continued Product Development
Once the Igniter Development has concluded we will continue our development efforts on the Ceramic Oxygen Sensor (Ceros), Ceramic Oxide Brake Systems (Cerob), and Ceramic Oxide Fuel Cells (Cerofc). We have sought and will continue to seek partnerships with both commercial and government agencies. At the present time, no agreements, arrangements or understandings have been completed regarding those potential partnerships.
Phase I Work Scope—(CERIS) Igniter
Task 1. Igniter Development and Testing (CERIS)
We will fabricate a 12, 24 and 120 volt initial ceramic igniter design and synthesize the conductive compound and underlying substrate. Testing and will be done on hermetically coated and uncoated samples to characterize the best system. We will conduct marketing efforts in the form of parallel testing at original equipment companies and provide a written evaluation and input for final design to the original equipment companies. .
Design optimization efforts will fall into the following five subtasks.
Task 1.1 Fabricate Final Shape—We will work with industry end users to develop a 12, 24 and 120 volt standard shape and will develop further shapes based upon the manufacturer’s input. Several costing candidates will be investigated based upon different chemistries.
Task 1.2 Develop Cycling and Gas Ignition Bench Software—A standard set of test programs will be written to address multiple part testing. This standard software will be utilized on several bench systems for life cycle testing. These tests will conform to CSA requirements.
Task 1.3 Ink Development-Perovskite and Other Candidates—The candidate conductive powders, once synthesized, will be turned into a ceramic inks for eventual silk screening or injecting onto the substrates. Once dried and heated to high temperature, the inks form a target resistance that governs gas ignition voltage and temperature. The ink patterns themselves control the 12, 24, and 110 volt operation. The candidates will be evaluated based upon cost and performance (life).
Task 1.4 Cycling Tests Bench A—OEM data has revealed the need for 200,000 on/off cycles for acceptance testing and the need for 100% ignition at the respective 12, 24 and 110 volt specifications. This is a typical life cycle for home heating systems. Bench A will be used with an automated control system to gather cycle data including, current, voltage, calculated resistance, and temperature. Visual or Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and chemical (X-Ray diffraction) inspection will be done after multiple cycling to assess further what the life cycle characteristics are of the different voltage igniters .
13
Task 1.5 Percent Ignition Cycling Tests Bench B—An automated gas valve system will be programmed and setup to gather percent ignition and corresponding temperature of ignition success data. Timing of this test will closely resemble a typical gas furnace system.
Task 1.6 CSA Testing-Certification—Tests will be conducted at CSA facilities for final qualification .
Task 1.7 Other Shape Development—Through OEM requests, we will develop shape characteristics within the capability of the technology. New shape forms will be investigated for specific applications.
Task 2. Igniter Marketing / Patents. (CERIS).
Task 2.1 Product Design Review—The final assessment for manufacturing an initial lot of igniters will be made.
Task 2.2 Patent Filing—Patent applications will be reviewed and filed for the Ceris Product and ancillary process patents.
Task 2.3 Marketing: First OEM Tests—Once we test suitable igniters, a portable prototype station will be completed and presentations of the technology will be made available for evaluation to potential customers that want us to license our technology to them or enter into partner licensing arrangements or lead to market orders.
Task 3. Continued Product Development– Because of the core technology nature of the Ultratemp-C technology each of the continued products is a sequencing of the core technology. As an example, by taking the Ceris igniter and adding 3 more electronic layers we have either an automotive oxygen sensor (Ceros) or in reverse a fuel cell (Cerofc). By adding thermal insulator or thermal conducting layers we have a ceramic brake (Cerob). In all of these further products we are relying on the bonding developed on the UltraTemp-C technology. The bonding aspect is crucial to our development and final product because de-bonding of ceramic layers is a standard failure mechanism, thereby limiting life expectancy. The work scope of product development for each of these devices will follow almost exactly that outlined for the igniter, with each later device developed and tested during development.

Response to Comment 27
We have added the following disclosure pertaining to Comment 27.
SenCer Inc., through several years’ direct effort by Mr. David Burt, had developed the initial igniter technology and has successfully tested several prototypes for temperature and ignition. No outside sources, other than discussions with end users regarding requests to improve the technology were used. After transfer of the technology to us as outlined in the Technology License Agreement, we continued SenCer’s development and prototype testing by perfecting the synthesis of the core compounds for final design of the igniter and to test production techniques for these materials. In June 2010, we completed successful synthesis of the conductive compounds and substrate materials utilizing in-house production methods. We will be fabricating a first round of igniters by August 2010.

We have clarified our relationship with Drs. Creedon and Ownby, as follows:
We use consultants on as-needed basis to assist us with design, material development, electron microscope, x-ray and chemical analyses. We have thus far used the services of Dr. Matthew Creedon and Dr. P. Darrell Ownby of the Missouri University of Science and Technology for those purposes, who invoice us for their services at the rate of $100 per hour. We have no written agreement with Dr. Creedon or Dr. Ownby pertaining to their consulting services nor do we intend to enter into any written agreement with them. Further, we do not intend to hire them as our employees. Both Dr. Creedon and Dr. Ownby hold PhD Degrees in Material Science.

SenCer has provided a version of the UltraTemp Technology commercially to several companies with similar bonded coatings. That version has been successfully tested at temperatures as high as 1650°C, and no de-bonding was evident of the layers. This testing provides us a basis upon which to proceed with the development of our device to be fabricated for operation below (1000°C). In our costing claims, these come directly from known costs on our current designs as compared with known costs from our discussions with competitors, who we plan to discuss potential involvement on a partnership arrangement or co-licensing arrangement with our technology.
Our Chief Technology Officer has furnished the Division of Corporation Finance with supplemental documents that support the claims in the first bullet point.

Response to Comment 34
We have established a rapid prototyping technology and pilot plant production capability through our relationship with SenCer. This capability, which has been producing components for at least 10 years, involves a software based manufacturing system with robotic production systems for fabricating components. This is unique in the ceramic field because: (a) we can form final shape components without the need for expensive tooling and final diamond machining; and (b) the process can produce small devices less than 5 inches up to components that are massive for the ceramic industry 24 x 48 inch.
Our Chief Technology Officer has furnished the Division of Corporation Finance with supplemental documents pertaining to our rapid prototyping technology.

Marketing, page 28
Response to Comment 36
We have updated the disclosure (indicated by the underlined passage) in our Marketing Section to state the following:
Marketing
We will primarily market our future products to manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers in the home device, heating and cooling, automotive and medical industries, which does not involve mass marketing. Our initial marketing efforts will be limited to developing relationships with OEMs that have already been developed in those industries by our officers and establishing new OEM relationships and attending trade shows in the home heating, cooling, automotive and medical industries.To date, our Chief Executive Officer has attempted to develop relationships with OEMs that he already had developed in the past through his position as Chief Executive Officer of General Automotive, as well as new relationships with other OEMS; however, no agreements, permanent arrangements or understandings have been reached between those OEMS and us.

Response to Comment 37
Our licensing agreement with SenCer does not currently cover licensing of medical devices. If medical devices are contemplated, they will be typically sensors and will be supplied as sub-components to medically regulated devices. Because medical devices are not part of our current operational plan, we have deleted all such references in the Prospectus.

Response to Comment 39
We have added the following disclosure:
The process for CSA certification is typically 1-2 months. We will pre-test the candidate igniters at our facilities and once assured of meeting the requirements outlined in the documented specifications, we will submit a set of test samples to CSA. CSA will then conduct their own independent tests outlined in the industry specifications to insure compliance.

Technology License Agreement, page 30
Response to Comment 40
We have added the following disclosure to clarify why the agreement requires “further licensing”.
Since our core products will involve technologies that will be used in manufacturing other products, as we enter into manufacturing, co-manufacturing or distribution agreements, a licensing of our technology will be an inherent element in such agreements.

Joint Venture Agreement between our co-founders, SenCer and General Automotive
We have added the following bolded disclosure (bolded only for illustrative purposes herein) to the description of our Joint Venture Agreement:
On December 6, 2009, SenCer, as a ceramic technology development and manufacturing company that has developed certain technology that has potential application in the automotive and home heating/cooling and appliance industries entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with General Automotive, an automotive parts importing and distribution company to form us and provide technology, marketing and advisory services to us. The agreement provides that Sencer, Inc. will provide its technical expertise and General Automotive will provide its marketing expertise to us. General Automotive will oversee all marketing of our products, and use its and our Chief Executive Officer’s already established relationships, and attempt to engage new relationships, to secure manufactures, co-manufacturers, and product distributors in arrangements, agreements, co-partnerships or sublicensing agreements. Sencer will continue to provide oversight of all development and technical aspects of our product development and manufacturing. Additionally, the agreement provides that: (a) there will be an initial three member board comprised of Dan Valladao, David Burt, and Samuel Reeder, each for a two year term; (b) our Bylaws will provide that board members may not be removed without a vote of holders of seventy-five percent of our issued and outstanding shares of our common shares voting at a duly called shareholder meeting; (c) we will have one hundred million (100,000,000) authorized shares; (d) we will seek to raise one million dollars of private capital; (e) James Byrd, Jr. (or his company) will provide consulting services to us in strategic business growth and development for which we will pay him 2,800,000) shares of common stock; (f) James Painter (or his company) will provide consulting in the areas of investor relations and shareholder relations, for which he will be paid 2,800,000 shares; (g) Law Office of Frederick M.

Liquidity, page 36
Response to Comment 46
We have added the following disclosure in our Liquidity Section:
We sought to raise up to $1,250,000 from our initial private offering. Due to market conditions, we were only able to raise $221,000 from that private offering. Management determined that the $221,000 amount was sufficient to complete development of a working prototype of the “igniter” and that it was in our best interests to close the offering and proceed with an S-1 Registration Statement because with a working prototype of at least one of its planned products, and with an SEC registered company, we would be in a better position to attract additional capital for further development of its products, and for bringing those products to market.
Please also note that we have disclosed that our future business plan is contingent upon raising additional funds to accomplish our remaining development and that failure to do so will result in our inability to fully implement our business plan.
Location at page 37.
Response to Comment 47

Comment 48
We have added the bolded disclosure (bolded here only for illustrative purposes) below to our “contractual obligations”
Our technology license agreement provides for our having a long term obligation to pay SenCer on a quarterly basis, 2% of the gross sales or further licensing of the igniter technology, or the sale of the products which include the igniter technology. We believe that this royalty provision will have a limited impact on operations once we commercialize products because of the reduced material costs of our of the reduced material costs of our igniter compared to competitors.We have no other material long term debt or capital lease or purchase obligations or long term liabilities. We do have operating lease obligations as detailed in our Property Section at page 39.

Transactions with Related Persons, page 38
Response to Comment 51
We have reconciled our disclosure in our Transactions with Related Persons Section with the second Note 7 to our financial statements, as follows:
On December 8, 2009, we entered into a twelve month operating lease for temporary office space with Byrd and Company, LLC which is controlled by James Byrd, our shareholder and consultant. The lease originally provided for a monthly payment of $2,500 plus sales tax, but was later canceled and replaced with a one-time payment of $10,000 for initial services provided in connection with coordinating initial audit and filings with the Commission, use of Byrd and Company, LLC’s office located in Orlando, Florida through April 2010, and initial use of Mr. Byrd’s administrative staff during the first 120 days of our operations. Mr. Byrd made the office space available to us free of charge for May 2010, at which time we changed our offices to SenCer’s offices in New York.
Response to Comment 52
We are not a shell company because we have operations and assets, both of which are not nominal; accordingly, we believe that any discussion regarding that would be superfluous:
We have added the following disclosure to our “Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons” section:
SenCer and Us
We issued 10.75 million shares to our co-founder SenCer on December 8, 2009 in accordance with the terms of our Technology License Agreement with SenCer. The 10.75 million shares were valued by us and SenCer at a stipulated and agreed value of one penny ($.01) per share, which is the par value of the our common stock, or an aggregate value of $215,000(21.5 million shares at $.01 per share), and is so
21
reflected in our financial statements. The accounting principle that forms the basis of the $215,000 valuation is that we are treating the technology license as an intangible asset as one with an indefinite life.

Lease with General Automotive, page 39
Response to Comment 53
We erroneously but inadvertently included a subtitle “Lease with General Automotive”, which we have changed to “Temporary Corporate Headquarters lease with Byrd and Company, LLC”. In conjunction with our consulting agreement with Byrd & Company, LLC, we were able to use Mr. Byrd’s office through April, 2010 and he allowed us to continue in the space through May, 2010 without additional charge or compensation.
On May 4, 2010, we executed a lease for use of our space in Jerusalem, New York (Exhibit 10.8), and as of June 1, 2010 we consolidated our corporate office with our facility in New York, so that our corporate address is now 1 Keuka Business Park, Penn Yan, New York (14527).

Response to Comment 59
We erroneously but inadvertently included disclosure that Dan Valladao and David Burt have sole voting and dispositive power over the 10,750,000 held each by General Automotive and SenCer, respectively. We have amended our disclosure in Amendment Number 2 to reflect that General Automotive and SenCer’s Board of Directors by majority note each have sole voting and dispositive power over the 10,750,000 shares they each entity so holds. Therefore, we believe that Messrs. Valladao and Burt should not be listed as beneficial owners in the shareholder table.

Please see our response to Comment 59. There is no material risk that either Dan Valladao or David Burt would transfer “ownership” of our shares to satisfy debt or otherwise; individually they own no shares and any investment, transfer or dispositive power over the shares owned by General Automotive and SenCer is controlled by their individual Board of Directors as by majority vote.

Response to Comment 62
We have reviewed the relevant literature and do not believe the matters raised in Comment 62 require disclosure because:
| 1) | We are not a subsidiary of any public company, or prospective public company, including us, and our operations are not consolidated on a financial basis; |
| 2) | Our operations are, in fact, separate from those of SenCer and General Automotive; |
| 3) | Our financial accounting systems are separate from SenCer and General Automotive; |
| 4) | The only financial transactions involving an invoicing of services rendered by SenCer to us; |
| 5) | Dan Valladao and David Burt split their time between us and General Automotive and SenCer, respectively; |
| 6) | Dan Valladao and David Burt are paid salaries only by the particular entity that they are employed with, i.e. there are no allocation or inter-company transfers to pay salaries; |
| 7) | There are no inter-company transfers between us and General Automotive or SenCer, apart from payment of services; and |
| 8) | We do not pay management fees, but we do reimburse our co-founders for any direct expenses that either one has incurred on our behalf. |
Summary Equity Awards Table, page 45
Response to Comment 63
We have amended our disclosure to state that we do not pay Sencer or Mr. Burt for any services rendered other than the terms contained in our employment agreement with Mr. Burt and the amended Technology License Agreement between SenCer and us. When we first began our operations, we were paying Sencer a monthly fee and they were paying for all space and employees for us. Once we established a lease in our New York facility in our own name and hired all of the necessary employees directly, we ceased this practice and we are now paying for our rent, labor and other costs directly. Thus, other than the Amended Technology License Agreement and Employment Agreement, we do not have any agreements, written or verbal, pursuant to which we pay Mr. Burt or Sencer for services rendered to us.

Response to Comment 65
SenCer General Automotive, our founding shareholders, were former members of General Automotive Advanced Technology Group, LLC (“GAAT”). SenCer and GAAT were parties to a Technology License Agreement dated July 21, 2008, wherein SenCer licensed certain technology to GAAT under a joint venture agreement. GAAT conducted no business, other than efforts to raise funds for the joint venture, which were not successful. SenCer and General Automotive terminated and canceled the July 21, 2008 Technology License Agreement and dissolved GAAT to form a new public company for the purpose of developing and marketing the technology referenced therein, as well as certain technology developed by SenCer known as the “igniter” technology, and for the purpose of attracting investors and financing. Because no business was conducted by GAAT in connection with developing, marketing, or producing any technology associated with the Technology Licensed Agreement. GAAT is not a predecessor company.
SenCer, one of our founding shareholders, is a company located in Penn Yan New York and does not represent our predecessor operations. SenCer has been in business for over ten years, producing, developing, and marketing products that have nothing to do with the technology covered by the Technology License Agreement. The principal shareholder of SenCer recognized that the automotive marketplace represented a new emerging market opportunity for the igniter technology and other technology he wanted to develop and market for the automotive and related industries that would benefit from the igniter technology. As indicated above, a public company offers opportunities to attract capital, which is needed to bring emerging technology to the marketplace. SenCer is an ongoing business which conducts its business on its behalf, maintains its own books and records, and files its own corporate federal and state tax returns. Its ongoing business is not our business, which is limited to products that will be developed and sold in connection with the terms and provisions of the new technology license agreement.

Note 6. Stockholders’ Equity, page F-16
SenCer and General Automotive were members of a Florida Limited Liability Company named General Automotive Advanced Technology Group, LLC (“GAAT”). SenCer and GAAT were parties to a Technology License Agreement dated July 21, 2008, wherein SenCer licensed certain technology to GAAT, or its subsidiaries, under a joint venture arrangement. SenCer and GA terminated and cancelled the July 21, 2008 Technology License Agreement and dissolved GAAT to form a new public company for the purpose of developing and marketing the technology referenced therein, as well as certain technology developed by SenCer known as the “igniter” technology for the purposes of attracting investors and financing the venture (See Note 1—Organization and nature of operations).
SenCer and GA formed a new company, Greencell Incorporated (“GC”) and a new Technology License Agreement dated December 8, 2009 was executed between the parties. The original Technology License Agreement was replaced and deemed terminated and void for all purposes, had no further effect whatsoever, and neither party had any further obligations with regards to the original Technology License Agreement.
All parties to the new Technology License Agreement agreed to issue SenCer and GA, our founding shareholders, 10.75 million shares each, or a total of 21.5 million shares at a stipulated and agreed value of one penny ($.01) per share, which is the par value of the our common stock. Therefore, the Technology License was valued at $215.000 (21.5 million shares at $.01 per share), which is the total that appears on the face of the balance sheet under the caption, “Other assets.”
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350-35-15, we are treating the technology intangible asset as one with an indefinite life for the following reasons:
| 1. | The expected life of the intangible asset by us is for an indefinite period of time and as long as we continue with the sale of our products. All of our future sales of our products will be based on the igniter technology covered by the Technology License Agreement. Therefore, if the Technology License Agreement is revoked, we will be unable to generate any revenue; |
| 2. | we expect to sell products using the igniter technology for the indefinite future; |
| 3. | there are no significant legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the license’s useful life; |
| 4. | the Technology License Agreement has an indefinite life, provided that we perform all our obligations. |
| 5. | there is no need for renewal or extensions; and |
| 6. | we do not anticipate a high level of expenditures for maintenance for the products, currently under final development, and being readied for market, to obtain the expected future cash flows for the products when they enter the marketplace. |
26
We will test the intangible for impairment at least on an annual period, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate possible impairment.
