BLUE BELL, Pa., July 20, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — C&D Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:CHP -News), a leading North American producer and marketer of electrical power storage and conversion systems used in telecommunications, uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems, utility and other high reliability applications, announced today that the Company received notification from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Company has fallen below the continued listing standard which requires a minimum average closing price of $1.00 per common share over thirty consecutive trading days.
