Dear Ms. Ravitz:

Ideal Power Inc.

In requesting acceleration, the Company acknowledges that:

(1)           should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Filing;

(2)           the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority in declaring the Filing effective does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Filing; and

(3)           the Company may not assert comments of the Commission and the staff and the declaration of effectiveness of the Filing as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Very truly yours,

IDEAL POWER INC.
