MIAMI, FL--(Marketwire - December
04, 2012) - Legends Business Group (PINKSHEETS: LGBS)
today announced the company has continued testing the MFCC on a
solar powered golf cart; an experiment announced back on August 07,
2012. The MFCC's next level of testing was administered on a
utility golf cart at Save The Chimps (STC), the world's largest
chimpanzee sanctuary located in Fort Pierce, FL
(www.savethechimps.org).
On October 15, 2012, STC contacted Legend's Business Group
inquiring about an article in their local paper regarding the MFCC
testing press release; Legends Business Group, Inc.
Independently tests Multi-Function Charger
Controller (MFCC) on solar powered golf cart. "Save the
Chimps uses electric golf carts almost exclusively for
transportation of staff and supplies to the 13 chimpanzee islands
and buildings that make up our 150 acre chimpanzee sanctuary," said
Jen Feuerstein, Save The Chimps Sanctuary Director. "I was excited
to read about the possibility of solar powered golf carts, because
such an innovation would be both environmentally friendly
(something very important to us at STC) as well as a savings for
our organization on our electric bill." STC, a non-profit
organization, was founded in 1997 by Carole Noon, PH.D, to provide
and build support for permanent sanctuary for the lifelong care of
chimpanzees rescued. It is now home to nearly 300 chimpanzees
rescued from research laboratories, entertainment and pet trade,
and they are now permanent residents on a beautiful 150 acre rescue
sanctuary."The ability to test the MFCC and at the same time help a
wonderful organization like Save The Chimps is one of the best real
world tests we could have asked for," said Rudy Sablon, LGBS's
President and CEO. "It was an eye opening experience visiting the
STC, they have an amazing sanctuary and Legends is proud to be part
of this experience in any capacity."
Legends' main goal at the STC site is to independently test and
record the MFCC's solar charging abilities on a third party's golf
cart using real world conditions while not using a conventional
style charger plugged directly into any power outlet. "The
sanctuary's off road terrain and around the clock use is the
perfect test ground to push the MFCC's solar power golf cart kit to
its limits," said Sablon. Legends found during a tour of the
sanctuary and installation of the MFCC, that the golf cart was in
the perfect setting for extreme testing. The STC's environment was
extremely dusty, humid, and had an overall rugged terrain; which
are just some of the conditions the MFCC will be subjected to
everyday while providing care for these Chimpanzees.
Legends' real world solar golf cart test consists of taking an
ordinary utility golf cart, replacing its roof with a custom solar
panel, and then testing its durability and off the grid
functionality. Installed on the cart was a custom frame enclosing a
170 watt solar power panel, the MFCC, and an externally mounted
volt meter to record resting voltage twice a day for the next
several weeks. Legends plans to announce the MFCC solar cart
results periodically as the testing data is collected and analyzed.
During the initial installation the golf carts batteries were
recorded resting at 49.5V. Within the first half hour of the solar
panel installation, the batteries were already displaying a resting
reading of 49.9V volts. The MFCC utilizes complex charging
algorithms in association with bi-directional feedback to attain
the optimal charging sequence for each charging session. Unlike
conventional chargers, which tend to use only one method and one
direction, the MFCC digitally and thermally continuously adjusts
throughout the charging cycle. The net result is more energy stored
along with higher resting voltage and longer battery life. Pictures
will be soon posted to the website. Please visit

Save the Chimps provides safety, privacy, lifetime care, freedom
from exploitation, and the best captive care possible to the 300
some chimpanzees that live at its Sanctuary. Donations provide the
necessary funds to feed the chimps three fresh daily meals of
fruits and vegetables; provide first-rate medical care for all the
chimps; and help STC's maintain the 12 three acre island homes that
allow the chimps the space and freedom to wander to their hearts
content. Please help by visiting

One of Legends new undertakings is overall transparency to its
shareholders; visit our website under current projects to find
