PROXY STATEMENT

INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are being furnished with respect to the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of China BAK Battery, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or “we”), for the Company’s 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting is to be held at 9:00 a.m., local time, on Friday, May 22, 2009, and at any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, at the principal executive offices of the Company, located at BAK Industrial Park, No. 1 BAK Street, Kuichong Town, Longgang District, Shenzhen, 518119, People’s Republic of China.

The date on which the Proxy Statement and form of proxy card are intended to be sent or made available to stockholders is April 9, 2009.

The purposes of the Annual Meeting are to seek stockholder approval of two proposals: (i) electing five (5) directors to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”); and (ii) ratifying the appointment of the Company’s independent registered accountants for fiscal year 2009. We will also transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Who May Vote

Only stockholders of record of our Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”), as of the close of business on March 26, 2009 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or adjournments thereof.

A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available at the Annual Meeting and for ten days prior to the Annual Meeting, during office hours, at the executive offices of the Company at BAK Industrial Park, No. 1 BAK Street, Kuichong Town, Longgang District, Shenzhen 518119, People’s Republic of China, by contacting the Secretary of the Company.

The presence at the Annual Meeting of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date, in person or by proxy, is required for a quorum. Should you submit a proxy or voter instructions, even though you abstain as to one or more proposals, or you are present in person at the Annual Meeting, your shares shall be counted for the purpose of determining if a quorum is present.

Broker “non-votes” are included for the purposes of determining whether a quorum of shares is present at the Annual Meeting. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holder, such as a brokerage firm, bank or trust company, holding shares of record for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee holder does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

As of the Record Date, we had issued and outstanding 57,683,981 shares of Common Stock. Each holder of Common Stock on the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each share then held on all matters to be voted at the Annual Meeting. No other class of voting securities was then outstanding.

Voting Your Proxy

You may vote by proxy over the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials mailed to you or your household. If you have received printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, or if you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail by following the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, you can also vote by mail by completing, dating, and signing the proxy or voter instructions card and mailing it in the pre-addressed envelope provided, which requires no additional postage if mailed in the United States. You may submit your vote over the Internet until 11:59pm (EST) on May 21, 2009. If you vote by mail, please be aware that we can recognize your vote only if we receive it by close of business of the day before the Annual Meeting.

You may also vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held through a broker, trust, bank, or other nominee, please refer to the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and any other information forwarded to you by such holder of record to obtain a valid proxy from it. You will need to bring this legal proxy with you to the Annual Meeting in order to vote in person.

The shares represented by any proxy duly given will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, the shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominees for director set forth herein and FOR ratification of PKF as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, if other matters come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote in accordance with their best judgment with respect to such matters.

Each share of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote on all matters. Under Proposal 1 (Election of Directors), the five candidates proposed for election as directors at the Annual Meeting are uncontested. In uncontested elections, directors are elected by majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Proposal 2 (Ratification of the Selection of Independent Auditors) requires for approval the vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. In counting the votes cast, only those cast “for” and “against” a matter are included. Please note that you cannot vote “against” a nominee for director, although you may withhold your vote from a nominee.

Shares which abstain or which are withheld from voting as to a particular matter, and shares held in “street name” by brokers or nominees who indicate on their proxies that they do not have discretionary authority to vote such shares as to a particular matter, will not be counted as votes in favor of such matter, and will also not be counted as shares voting on such matter. Accordingly, abstentions, withheld votes, and “broker non-votes” will have no effect on the voting on matters (such as the election of directors and the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm) that require the affirmative vote of a plurality or a majority of the votes cast or the shares voting on the matter.

Stockholders have no cumulative voting rights or dissenter’s or appraisal rights relating to the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Revoking Your Proxy

Even if you submit a proxy or voter instructions, you may revoke and change your vote. You may revoke your proxy or voter instructions by submitting a new proxy or voter instructions over the Internet by using the procedure to vote your shares online described in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. You may also revoke your proxy by mail by requesting a copy be mailed to you, executing a subsequently dated proxy or voter instructions card, and mailing it in the pre-addressed envelope, which requires no additional postage if mailed in the United States. You may also revoke your proxy by your attendance and voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Mere attendance at the meeting will not revoke a proxy or voter instructions. We will vote the shares in accordance with the directions given in the last proxy or voter instructions submitted in a timely manner before the Annual Meeting. You may revoke your vote over the Internet until 11:59pm (EST) on May 21, 2009. If you revoke your vote by mail, please be aware that we can recognize the revoked vote only if we receive it by close of business of the day before the Annual Meeting.

2

If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned for any reason, at any subsequent reconvening of the Annual Meeting, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as the proxies would have been voted at the original convening of the Annual Meeting (except for any proxies that have at that time effectively been revoked or withdrawn), even if the proxies had been effectively voted on the same or any other matter at a previous meeting.

You are requested, regardless of the number of shares you own or your intention to attend the Annual Meeting, to vote your shares as described above.

Solicitation of Proxies

The expenses of solicitation of proxies will be paid by the Company. We may solicit proxies by mail, and the officers and employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally or by telephone and will receive no extra compensation from such activities. The Company will reimburse brokerage houses and other nominees for their expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares held by them.

Delivery of Proxy Materials to Households

Only one copy of the Company’s 2008 Annual Report, this Proxy Statement, and/or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as applicable, will be delivered to an address where two or more stockholders reside with the same last name or whom otherwise reasonably appear to be members of the same family based on the stockholders’ prior express or implied consent.

We will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the 2008 Annual Report, this Proxy Statement, and/or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as applicable, upon such request. If you share an address with at least one other stockholder, currently receive one copy of our annual report, proxy statement, and/or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials at your residence, and would like to receive a separate copy of our annual report, proxy statement, and Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials for future stockholder meetings of the Company, please follow the instructions for requesting materials indicated on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials sent to your residence and specify this preference in your request.

If you share an address with at least one other stockholder and currently receive multiple copies of annual reports, proxy statements, or Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, and you would like to receive a single copy of annual reports, proxy statements, or Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, please follow the instructions for requesting materials indicated on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials sent to you and specify this preference in your request.

(1) The number of shares beneficially owned is determined under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual has sole or shared voting power or investment power, and also any shares which the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days of the Record Date, through the exercise or conversion of any stock option, convertible security, warrant or other right (a “Presently Exercisable” security). Including those shares in the table does not, however, constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares.

(2) Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity named in the table has sole voting power and investment power (or shares that power with that person’s spouse) with respect to all shares of Common Stock listed as owned by that person or entity.

(3) A total of 57,680,231 shares of Common Stock are considered to be outstanding on February 26, 2009. For each beneficial owner above, any Presently Exercisable securities of such beneficial owner have been included in the denominator, pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

(4) On May 29, 2008, Mr. Li was granted an option to purchase 1,080,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.18, the average closing price of the five trading days preceding May 29, 2008. The option is subject to a three-year vesting schedule, with the first 1/12 vesting on the last day of the full fiscal quarter following the date of grant (September 30, 2008), and the remaining 11/12 vesting in eleven equal installments on the last day of each following fiscal quarter. Mr. Li is also a party to an Escrow Agreement pursuant to which he placed 2,179,550 shares of Common Stock into escrow as “make good shares” for the benefit of investors in our January 2005 private placement in the event we failed to satisfy certain “performance thresholds”, as defined in the Escrow Agreement, for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2005 and 2006. Our previously reported net income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 exceeded the “performance threshold” for such period, and 1,089,775 of the shares placed in escrow by Mr. Li were released to him. Because of a compensation charge that had to be recognized in connection with the release of the escrowed shares back to Mr. Li, our net income for fiscal year 2005 fell below $12.0 million. Based on Mr. Li’s understanding that the investors in the January 2005 share issuance would therefore become entitled to the 1,089,775 shares released to him, Mr. Li undertook to transfer those shares to such investors on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding this undertaking, however, the 1,089,775 shares were not delivered to such investors. Pursuant to a settlement agreement, Mr. Li agreed to deliver the 1,089,775 shares to BAK International; BAK International in turn agreed to deliver the shares to the Company. Upon receipt of these shares, the Company agreed to release all claims and causes of action against Mr. Li and certain other persons regarding the shares. In November 2007, the 1,089,775 shares were delivered to the Company. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company was also authorized to commence negotiations with the investors who participated in the Company’s January 2005 private placement in order to achieve a complete settlement of BAK International’s obligations (and the Company’s obligations to the extent it has any) under the applicable agreements with such investors. Beginning on March 13, 2008, the Company entered into settlement agreements with certain investors in the January 2005 private placement. Pursuant to the settlement agreements, the Company and such investors have agreed, without any admission of liability, to a settlement and mutual releases from all claims relating to the January 2005 private placement, including all claims relating to the 1,089,775 “make good shares” of Common Stock that had been placed into escrow by Mr. Li, in connection with the January 2005 private placement, as well as all claims, including claims for liquidated damages, relating to registration rights granted in connection with the January 2005 private placement. Pursuant to the settlement agreements, we have made settlement payments to each of the settling investors of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of the number of “make good shares” such investor had claimed. Aggregate settlement payments amounted to 368,745 shares as of September 30, 2008, all of which were issued in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. Share payments to date have been made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) and/or other applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In accordance with the settlement agreements, we filed a registration statement covering the resale of such shares, which was declared effective by the SEC on June 26, 2008. The shares listed for Mr. Li in this table do not include the 1,089,775 shares that were delivered to the Company as described herein. Mr. Li is also a party to a guarantee agreement with China Development Bank (Shenzhen Branch), dated December 26, 2006, under which he is prohibited from pledging his shares of Common Stock to a third party. Mr. Li had formerly pledged certain of his shares of Common Stock to Shenzhen Development Bank (Longgang Branch) as collateral for a loan agreement and a subsequent comprehensive credit facility agreement entered into by Shenzhen BAK Battery Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen BAK”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Shenzhen Development Bank (Longgang Branch) released Mr. Li of both of these pledges prior to his entry into the guarantee agreement with China Development Bank (Shenzhen Branch) described above.

(5) Dr. Mao was granted an option to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock on May 16, 2006, at a price of $6.25 per share, 40% of which vested on July 1, 2007, an additional 30% of which vested on January 1, 2008, and the final 30% of which vested on July 1, 2008. On January 28, 2008, Dr. Mao was granted an option to purchase an additional 200,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $4.30 per share. The option vests and becomes exercisable in 12 installments over a three-year period as follows: the first 16,667 shares on April 28, 2008, an additional 16,667 shares each three months thereafter beginning on July 28, 2008, through October 28, 2010, and the final 16,663 shares on January 28, 2011.

(6) On May 12, 2006, Mr. Goodner was granted 5,000 shares of restricted Common Stock. On June 25, 2007, each of Dr. Budd and Mr. Zhang were granted 5,000 shares of restricted Common Stock. On July 17, 2007, Mr. Goodner was granted an additional 5,000 shares of restricted Common Stock. The restricted Common Stock granted to each director was subject to a one-year vesting schedule, with unvested shares being subject to limitations on transfer and forfeiture provisions. The first 25% of the restricted shares vested on the applicable grant date, and the remaining 75% vested in three equal installments on the last day of each subsequent calendar quarter. On August 6, 2008, each of Dr. Budd, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Goodner was granted an additional 5,000 shares of restricted Common Stock on the same terms as those governing the May 12, 2006, June 25, 2007 and July 17, 2007 grants.

5

(7) On June 25, 2007, Mr. Shen was granted an option to purchase 80,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $3.35 per share. The option vests over two years, with 10,000 shares vesting on the last day of each fiscal quarter following the grant date, with the first vesting date occurring on June 30, 2007. On January 28, 2008, Mr. Shen was granted an option to purchase 120,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $4.30 per share. The option vests and becomes exercisable over a three-year period with the option vesting and becoming exercisable as to 1/12 of the total shares every three months beginning on April 28, 2008.

(8) On June 25, 2007, Mr. Broom was granted an option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $3.268 per share. The option vests over four years, with 25,000 shares vesting on July 1 of each year and with the first vesting date occurring on July 1, 2008. On January 28, 2008, Mr. Broom was granted an option to purchase 40,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $4.30 per share. The option vests and becomes exercisable in 12 installments over a three-year period as follows: the first 3,334 shares on April 28, 2008, an additional 3,334 shares each three months thereafter beginning on July 28, 2008, through October 28, 2010, and the final 3,326 shares on January 28, 2011.

Changes in Control

There are no arrangements known to us, including any pledge by any person of our securities, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.

Interest of Officers and Directors in Matters to Be Acted Upon

None of the Company’s officers or directors since the beginning of the last fiscal year, or any of their associates, have any interest in any of the matters to be acted upon, except to the extent that a director is named as a nominee for election to the Board of Directors.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board is responsible for establishing broad corporate policies and monitoring the overall performance of the Company. It selects the Company’s executive officers, delegates authority for the conduct of the Company’s day-to-day operations to those officers, and monitors their performance. Members of the Board are kept informed of the Company’s business by participating in Board and Committee meetings, by reviewing analyses and reports, and through discussions with the Chairman and other officers.

Effective December 8, 2006, Article V of our articles of incorporation was amended so that the number of our directors shall be determined in accordance with our Bylaws instead of in accordance with provisions contained in our articles of incorporation. There are currently five (5) directors serving on the Board. At the Annual Meeting, five (5) directors will be elected, each to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or his or her earlier death or resignation or until his or her successor, if any, is elected or appointed. The individuals who have been nominated for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting are listed in the table below. Each of the nominees is a current director of the Company.

If, as a result of circumstances not now known or foreseen, any of the nominees is unavailable to serve as a nominee for the office of Director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the holders of the proxies solicited by this Proxy Statement may vote those proxies either (i) for the election of a substitute nominee who will be designated by the proxy holders or by the present Board or (ii) for the balance of the nominees, leaving a vacancy. Alternatively, the size of the Board may be reduced accordingly. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unwilling or unable to serve, if elected as a Director. The five nominees for election as directors are uncontested. In uncontested elections, directors are elected by majority of the votes cast at the meeting. Proxies will be voted for the election of the nominees listed below, unless they are marked otherwise.

Director Selection

As provided in its Charter, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company’s Board is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become Board members and recommending to the Board nominees for election as directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers recommendations for director nominees, including those submitted by the Company’s stockholders, on the bases described below. Stockholders may recommend nominees by writing to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee c/o the Secretary at BAK Industrial Park, No. 1 BAK Street Kuichong Town, Longgang District, Shenzhen, 518119. Stockholder recommendations will be promptly provided to the chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. To be considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for inclusion in the proxy for the 2010 annual meeting, recommendations must be received by the Secretary of the Company not later than the close of business on December 14, 2009 or, if the date of the 2010 annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of this year’s meeting, by no later than 30 days prior to the date of printing and mailing our material for the annual meeting.

In identifying and evaluating nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consult with the other Board members, management, consultants, and other individuals likely to possess an understanding of the Company’s business and knowledge of suitable candidates. In making its recommendations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses the requisite skills and qualifications of nominees and the composition of the Board as a whole in the context of the Board's criteria and needs. In evaluating the suitability of individual Board members, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may take into account many factors, including general understanding of marketing, finance and other disciplines relevant to the success of a publicly traded company in today’s business environment; understanding of the Company’s business and technology; the international nature of the Company’s operations; educational and professional background; and personal accomplishment. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group that can best perpetuate the success of the Company’s business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment, using its diversity of experience. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also ensures that a majority of nominees would be “independent directors” as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC and the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not believe that any specific minimum qualifications, qualities or skills are required for nominees, whether nominated by the Committee or by a stockholder.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of the nominees listed below.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Compensation Philosophy

Our executive compensation philosophy is to align the interests of executive management with stockholder interests and with our business strategy and success, through an integrated executive compensation program that considers short-term performance, the achievement of long-range strategic goals and growth in total stockholder value. The key elements of our executive compensation philosophy are competitive base salary, annual incentive opportunities and equity participation. Our aggregate compensation package is designed to attract and retain individuals critical to the long-term success of the Company, to motivate these persons to perform at their highest levels, and to reward exceptional performance.

The compensation of our executive officers is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board, except that the entire Board makes the final determination as to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer reviews and revises compensation proposals prepared by Human Resources and presents his recommendations to the Compensation Committee for the Committee’s ultimate review and approval. The Chief Executive Officer does not participate in Compensation Committee meetings and is not involved in decisions relating to his own compensation.

Elements of Compensation

Base Salar y. Base salary levels for executive officers are set forth in their individual employment agreements, and are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below under the heading “Executive Compensation”. The Compensation Committee considered the total compensation paid by other manufacturing companies in Shenzhen, China to persons holding equivalent positions in setting base salary levels. However, the Compensation Committee did not conduct a peer group compensation analysis or target any particular compensation level in establishing the base salaries for named executive officers.

Kenneth Broom’s fiscal year 2008 salary is considerably higher than the salary of the other named executive officers because of the Company’s desire to attract executives with appropriate experience. In setting Mr. Broom’s salary, the Compensation Committee considered Mr. Broom’s experience of over 20 years in the li-ion battery industry as well as the level of compensation Mr. Broom received from his previous employer.

The Compensation Committee believes that any increases in base salary should be based upon a favorable evaluation of individual performance relative to individual goals, the functioning of the executive’s team within the corporate structure, success in furthering corporate strategy and goals, individual management skills and responsibilities, demonstrated loyalty, and the Company’s commitment to attract and retain executives. We expect that our Compensation Committee will reward superior individual and company performance with commensurate cash and other compensation. The Compensation Committee did not increase base salary during fiscal year 2008 because of our net loss for fiscal year 2008. Salary will next be reviewed when the Compensation Committee deems appropriate, but the Compensation Committee will not review salary more frequently than on an annual basis.

Bonuses . Executives are eligible to receive a discretionary bonus pursuant to the terms of their respective employment agreements. However, in fiscal 2008 we did not set any performance targets and no discretionary bonuses were paid because the Company’s performance did not meet the management’s total satisfaction. If our Compensation Committee determines to do so in the future, bonuses may be paid on an ad hoc basis to recognize superior performance. If the Compensation Committee determines to provide bonus compensation as a regular part of our executive compensation package, it will establish performance goals for each of the executive officers and maximum bonuses that may be earned upon attainment of such performance goals.

Equity Incentives . Named executive officers are eligible for equity awards in the form of stock options and restricted stock under our Stock Option Plan. Equity awards are granted at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The size of an award to any individual, including named executive officers, depends on individual performance, salary level and competitive data, and the impact that such employee’s productivity may have on shareholder value over time. In addition, in determining the number of stock options or shares of restricted stock granted to each named executive officer, the Compensation Committee considers the future benefits potentially available to the named executive officers from existing awards. The number of options or restricted shares granted depend in part on the total number of unvested options and restricted shares deemed necessary to provide an incentive to that individual to remain with the Company for the long-term.

13

In fiscal year 2008, with the goals of aligning the interest of the Company and our employees, retaining superior personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, and promoting the growth and prosperity of the Company, the compensation committee granted stock options to Mr. Li, Mr. Shen, Dr. Mao, and Mr. Broom in connection with their employment with the Company. The stock option grants to Mr. Li, Mr. Shen, Dr. Mao, and Mr. Broom are reflected in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table below under the heading “Executive Compensation”.

We have no program, plan or practice of granting equity awards that coincide with the release by the Company of material non-public information.

We seek to further align management and shareholder interests by giving to executives an equity interest in our company, the value of which depends upon stock performance. The Committee believes that using restricted stock as part of the overall equity awards program better aligns the interest of management and shareholders as restricted stock closely replicates the economic characteristics of capital stock.

Retirement Benefits . Currently, we do not provide any company-sponsored retirement benefits or deferred compensation programs to any employee, including the named executive officers (other than a mandatory state pension scheme in which all of our employees in China participate) because it is not customary to provide such benefits and programs in China.

Perquisites . Historically, we have provided our named executive officers with minimal perquisites and other personal benefits that we believe are reasonable, such as company car-related benefits. We do not view perquisites as a significant element of compensation, but do believe they can be useful in attracting, motivating and retaining the executive talent for which we compete.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

The Compensation Committee of the Company has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management. Based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee has recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

Summary of Employment Agreements

The base salary shown in the Summary Compensation Table is described in each named executive officer’s respective employment agreement. The material terms of those employment agreements are summarized below.

With the exception of Mr. Broom, the named executive officers entered into the Company’s standard employment agreement. On December 20, 2006, Shenzhen BAK entered into a non-standard employment agreement with Mr. Broom in connection with his employment in Canada as Executive Vice President for BAK Canada Ltd. Mr. Broom’s employment agreement entitles him to a grant of 100,000 stock options, an allowance for monthly car expenses, and the cost of legal representation and indemnification for damages in the event Mr. Broom’s prior employer files any claims or demands against him relating to his employment with the Company. In the event the Company terminates Mr. Broom’s employment without cause prior to the expiration of the two-year term of the agreement, he is entitled to a lump sum payment or salary continuation equal to the amount he would have received had no termination occurred. Neither the Company nor Mr. Broom has incurred any legal costs or damages relating to Mr. Broom’s former employment.

Material Terms of Standard Employment Agreement . With the exception of Mr. Li, who has a three-year employment agreement, we entered into two-year employment agreements with Messrs. Mao and Shen. We entered into the employment agreement with Messrs. Li and Mao on June 30, 2006, and with Mr. Shen on May 13, 2007, and renewed the agreement with Dr. Mao on June 30, 2008.

15

Our standard employment agreement permits us to terminate the executive’s employment for cause, at any time, without notice or remuneration, for certain acts of the executive, including but not limited to a conviction or plea of guilty to a felony, negligence or dishonesty to our detriment and failure to perform agreed duties after a reasonable opportunity to cure the failure. An executive may terminate his employment upon one-month written notice if there is a material reduction in his authority, duties and responsibilities or if there is a material reduction in his annual salary before the next annual salary review. Furthermore, we may terminate the executive’s employment at any time without cause by giving a one-month advance written notice to the executive officer. If we terminate the executive’s employment without cause, the executive will be entitled to a termination payment of up to three months of his or her then base salary, approximately $6,391 to $7,988, depending on the length of such executive’s employment with us. Specifically, the executive will receive salary continuation for: (i) one month following a termination effective prior to the first anniversary of the effective date of the employment agreement; (ii) two months following a termination effective prior to the second anniversary of the effective date; and (iii) three months following a termination effective prior to or any time after the third anniversary of the effective date. The employment agreements provide that the executive will not participate in any severance plan, policy, or program of the Company.

Our standard employment agreement contains customary non-competition, confidentiality, and non-disclosure covenants. Each executive officer has agreed to hold, both during and after the employment agreement expires or is earlier terminated, in strict confidence and not to use, except as required in the performance of his duties in connection with the employment, any confidential information, technical data, trade secrets and know-how of our company or the confidential information of any third party, including our affiliated entities and our subsidiaries, received by us. The executive officers have also agreed to disclose in confidence to us all inventions, designs and trade secrets which they conceive, develop or reduce to practice and to assign all right, title and interest in them to us. In addition, each executive officer has agreed to be bound by non-competition restrictions set forth in his or her employment agreement. Specifically, each executive officer has agreed not to, while employed by us and for a period of one year following the termination or expiration of the employment agreement,

· approach our clients, customers or contacts or other persons or entities, and not to interfere with the business relationship between us and such persons and/or entities;

· assume employment with or provide services as a director for any of our competitors, or engage in any business which is in direct or indirect competition with our business; or

Option Exercises and Stock Vested – 2008

Although our named executive officers have been granted certain stock options, none of our named executive officers have been granted restricted stock, restricted stock units, or similar instruments, and therefore none had stock awards that vested during the year ended September 30, 2008. None of our named executive officers exercised options during the year ended September 30, 2008.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

We do not have change-in-control or severance agreements with our named executive officers. However, (i) each named executive officer’s employment agreement provides a payment to the named executive officer on account of the Company’s termination of his employment without cause and (ii) the Stock Option Plan provides that all outstanding options will automatically accelerate and become fully exercisable upon a change in control, except to the extent that those options are to be assumed or replaced by the successor company. In addition, the committee administering the Stock Option Plan has the authority to accelerate vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options held by any optionee in connection with the involuntary termination of that individual’s employment within 18 months following a change in control in which the options are assumed or replaced.

18

The following table reflects amounts payable to our named executive officers (1) assuming their employment was terminated without cause on September 30, 2008 and (2) assuming a change in control on September 30, 2008 or involuntary termination within 18 months of a change in control.

| Name — Xiangqian

Li 8,800 (2) -
Tony
Shen 4,693 (3) 19,996.65
Huanyu
Mao 7,920 (2) -
Kenneth
G. Broom 61,943 (4) 24,900

(1) Amounts in this column reflect the value of unvested options that would be accelerated upon (i) a change of control if the options are not assumed by the successor corporation and (ii) involuntary termination within 18 months following a change in control in which the named executive officer’s options were assumed or replaced. Amounts are calculated based on (i) the difference between (a) the closing market price of a share of Common Stock on September 30, 2008 and (b) the exercise price per share for an option grant (ii) multiplied by the number of shares subject to the option grant. There is no acceleration of restricted shares.

(2) In accordance with their employment agreements, Messrs. Li and Mao, if terminated without cause on the last day of the 2008 fiscal year, would have been entitled to three months of salary continuation.

(3) In accordance with his employment agreement, Mr. Shen, if terminated without cause on the last day of the 2008 fiscal year, would have been entitled to two months of salary continuation.

(4) The amount is equal to the amount Mr. Broom would be paid if he continued to be employed for the remainder of the term of his employment agreement.

Compensation of Directors – 2008

Effective May 9, 2006, our shareholders approved the Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Eligible directors are paid approximately $20,000 annually, except that the director with the additional responsibility of chairing the Audit Committee is paid an additional $5,000 annually, in each case subject to adjustments determined by our Board from time to time. Each independent director is granted 5,000 restricted shares of Common Stock for serving as a director.

On August 6, 2008, we issued 5,000 shares of restricted stock to each of Charlene Spoede Budd, Chunzhi Zhang, and Richard B. Goodner as compensation for their services as a director. These restricted shares are subject to a one-year vesting schedule, with the first 25% vesting on the grant date, and the remaining 75% vesting in three installments on the last day of each following full quarter. The first 25% of the restricted shares was issued as fully paid Common Stock.

Zhang 20,000 22,800 (2) 42,800

(1) The amounts represented in the stock awards column reflect the compensation expense recognized by the Company in fiscal year 2008 determined pursuant to SFAS 123R, and no forfeitures are assumed. For a description of the assumptions used to calculate the value of these stock awards, please see Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.

(2) Granted 5,000 shares of our restricted Common Stock on August 6, 2008.

Dr. Budd received a $25,000 retainer fee because of the added responsibility of serving as the chairperson of our Audit Committee during fiscal year 2008.

We do not maintain a medical, dental or retirement benefits plan for the directors.

We have not compensated, and will not compensate, our non-independent directors, such as Mr. Xiangqian Li and Dr. Huanyu Mao, for serving as our directors, although they are entitled to reimbursements for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending our board meetings.

The directors may determine remuneration to be paid to the directors with interested members of the Board refraining from voting. The Compensation Committee will assist the directors in reviewing and approving the compensation structure for the directors.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Under U.S. securities laws, directors, certain executive officers and persons beneficially owning more than 10% of our Common Stock must report their initial ownership of the Common Stock, and any changes in that ownership, to the SEC. The SEC has designated specific due dates for these reports. Based solely on our review of copies of such reports filed with the SEC and written representations of our directors and executive offers, we believe that all persons subject to reporting filed the required reports on time in fiscal year 2008, except as follows: (i) a late Form 4 report filed by Huanyu Mao on January 31, 2008 to report the grant of an option to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the China BAK Battery, Inc.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Our PRC subsidiary, Shenzhen BAK, has several outstanding short-term bank loans, long term bank loans and bills payable to (i) Agricultural Bank of China (Tianjin/Shenzhen Eastern Branches), (ii) Industrial Bank (Shenzhen Branch), (iii) Shenzhen Development Bank (Longgang Branch), (iv) China CITIC Bank (Shenzhen Longgang Branch), (v) Bank of China (Shenzhen Branch) and (vi) China Development Bank (Shenzhen Branch), respectively, the proceeds of which were used primarily to fund the operations of our manufacturing facility located at the BAK Industrial Park and for general working capital requirements. At December 31, 2008, we had aggregate amounts due and payable under these debt arrangements of $195.1 million, including short-term bank loans of $112.1 million, long-term bank loans of $13.2 million maturing within one year, long-term bank loans of $46.9 million maturing in over one year, and bills payable of $22.9 million. As of December 31, 2008, the debt arrangements bore interest at rates ranging from 5.04% to 8.217% per annum and had maturity dates ranging from one to forty-one months. Each loan is guaranteed by Mr. Li, our director, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Li is also prohibited from pledging certain of his shares of Common Stock to any party other than China Development Bank (Shenzhen Branch). Mr. Li did not receive nor is entitled to receive any consideration for the above-referenced guarantees, and we are not independently obligated to indemnify any of those guarantors for any amounts paid by them pursuant to any guarantee.

Policies and Procedures Relating to Transactions with Related Persons . Our current written policies and procedures for review, approval or ratification of relationships or transactions with related persons are set forth in our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, our Audit Committee Charter, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, and our Board of Directors Charter.

Our Board of Directors Charter requires that our Board of Directors monitor and manage potential conflicts of interest of management and the Board and assume other responsibilities as may be required from time to time. As permitted under the Company’s Bylaws, the Board has delegated some of these responsibilities to the Board’s Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our Audit Committee Charter provides that the Audit Committee is responsible for establishing procedures for the approval of and approve the entry of the Company into any and all related party transactions between the Company and any executive officer or director that would potentially require disclosure pursuant to Item 404 of SEC Regulation S-K. The Audit Committee Charter also mandates that the Audit Committee must approve the entry of the Company into any such related party transaction. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter provides that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing and assessing the adequacy of the Company’s Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and other internal policies and guidelines and monitor whether the principles described therein are being incorporated into the Company’s culture and business practices.

21

Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct provides a number of specific procedures, requirements, and prohibitions relating to related party transactions. It prohibits directors, officers and employees from accepting simultaneous employment with a Company supplier, customer, developer, or competitor, or from taking part in any activity that enhances or supports a competitor’s position. All directors, officers and employees must disclose to the Company any interest that may conflict with the Company. A director, officer and employee may accept a position as a director of another company only if he or she obtains approval from the Board of Directors; the other company does not compete with the Company; and any compensation received in this capacity is commensurate with its responsibilities.

Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct generally requires directors, officers, and employees of the Company to avoid conducting Company business with a relative or significant other, or with a business in which a relative or significant other is associated in any significant manner. Where a Company director, officer or employee believes that such a transaction is unavoidable, he or she must fully disclose it to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. If the Chief Executive Officer deems it material to the Company, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must review and provide advance written approval for such transactions. The Board subsequently re-assigned part of this responsibility to the Audit Committee pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter. The most significant related party transactions, especially those involving the Company’s directors or executive officers, must be reviewed and approved in writing in advance by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Board also delegated part of this function to the Audit Committee under the Audit Committee Charter, as explained above. The Company must report all such material related party transactions under applicable accounting rules, federal securities laws, SEC rules and regulations, and securities market rules. Any dealings with a related party must be conducted in such a way that no preferential treatment is given.

In addition, our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct discourages the employment of relatives and significant others in positions or assignments within the same department and prohibits the employment of such persons in positions that have influence (e.g., an auditing or control relationship, or a supervisor/subordinate relationship). The Human Resources Department of the Company is primarily responsible for administering this aspect of our related party transactions policy. If any covered relationship develops or exists between two employees, the senior employee must advise his or her supervisor. The Company may separate the employees either by reassignment or termination, if necessary.

Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct also requires that the Company’s Law Affairs Department must review and approve any contract with any government entity. Directors, officers, employees, agents, and contractors are prohibited from entering into or attempting to enter in anti-competitive agreements, or even discussing or exchanging information about them. The Company’s Law Affairs Department must review any legitimate joint venture or other agreement with a competitor of the Company before the Company enters into any such agreement or arrangement.

Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct permits waivers of the above policies and procedures as to directors or executive officers only if they are approved in writing by the Board of Directors and promptly disclosed. Any waiver with respect to any employee, agent or contractor must be approved in writing by the Company’s Law Affairs Department. Under its Charter, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is also responsible for reviewing requests for any waivers and recommending to the Board whether a particular request should be granted.

Any type of related party transaction not expressly covered by the above policies and procedures is subject to the review and approval of our Board of Directors.

There were no related party transactions since the beginning of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 for which our policies and procedures did not require review, approval or ratification, or where our policies and procedures were not followed.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Audit Committee has selected PKF to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of PKF as our independent registered public accounting firm. Although ratification is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of PKF to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. In the event our stockholders fail to ratify the appointment by majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, the Audit Committee may reconsider this appointment.

Representatives of PKF will be available via teleconference during the Annual Meeting, at which time they may make any statement they consider appropriate and will respond to appropriate questions raised at the Annual Meeting.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On May 15, 2006, the Company changed its independent registered public accounting firm to KPMG. On July 7, 2006, the Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, ratified and authorized the appointment of KPMG as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. Subsequently, effective April 1, 2007, the Board, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, dismissed KPMG and authorized the appointment of PKF as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

The Company’s principal accountant’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except as follows: The report of PKF on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 stated that, in their opinion, the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2007. The report of PKF on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 stated that, in their opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008.

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, there were no “disagreements” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to this Item) with the Company’s former accountants on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to such former accountant’s satisfaction, would have caused such former accountant to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, there were also no “reportable events,” as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company did not consult with PKF regarding (a) the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, (b) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or (c) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instruction to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

All auditing services, internal control-related services, and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for the Company by our independent auditor must be approved by the Audit Committee in advance, except non-audit services (other than review and attestation services) if such services fall within exceptions established by the SEC. The Audit Committee will pre-approve any permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Company’s independent auditors on behalf of the Company that do not fall within any exception to the pre-approval requirements established by the SEC. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more members the authority to pre-approve permissible non-audit services, but any such delegate or delegates must present their pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next meeting. All of our accountants’ services described above were pre-approved by the Audit Committee or by one or more members under the delegate authority described above.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR ratification of the selection of PKF as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009.
