EXPLANATORY NOTE

     On August 9, 2005, Exide Technologies (the “Company”) filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005 (the “Form 10-Q”). The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Form 10-Q (the “Amendment”) for the purposes of inserting required text inadvertently omitted from the certifications which are required to be included as exhibits to the Form 10-Q under Rule 13a-14(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”). The corrected certifications, filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to the Amendment, supersede Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 as initially filed with the Form 10-Q.

     Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Act, any amendment to a report must be accompanied by new certifications, as specified in
Rule 13a-14(b) under the Act, by each principal executive and principal financial officer of the registrant. Accordingly, the Amendment is also accompanied by new certifications under Rule 13a-14(b) under the Act, which new certifications are filed with the Amendment as Exhibit 32.

     The Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Form 10-Q and, other than the filing of the corrected certifications mentioned above, does not modify or update the disclosure in the original Form 10-Q in any way.
