     This Registration Statement No. 33-67566 (the "Registration Statement")
registered an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 (the
"Securities"), of Best Power Technology, Incorporated (the "Registrant") to be
issued under the 1993 Stock Option Plan.  On June 14, 1995, pursuant to an

filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to terminate the registration of its
remaining Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
