         This amendment to Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 7/A")
amends and supplements the prior statement on Schedule 13D (the "Statement") as
filed by Intermagnetics General Corporation (the "Reporting Person") dated
December 31, 1992, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D, dated May 28,
1993, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D, dated December 1, 1994, Amendment No. 3
to Schedule 13D, dated September 28, 1995, Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D dated
March 1, 1996, Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D dated February 15, 2000 and
Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D dated March 17, 2000 each of which relate to the
Common Stock, $.10 par value per share, of Ultralife Batteries, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Issuer"). In the event that any disclosure contained in this
Amendment No. 7/A is inconsistent with the disclosure contained in the
Statement, the disclosures contained herein shall supersede such inconsistent
disclosure from the date of this Amendment No. 7/A.

         This Amendment No. 7/A is being filed to correct a statement in Item
5.(c) of Amendment No. 7. At the time it filed Amendment No. 7, the Reporting
Person was given to understand that four (4) insiders were purchasing the shares
that are the subject of this report. On October 24, 2002, the broker who
arranged this transaction notified Intermagnetics in writing that the shares
were, in fact, not sold to insiders of the Issuer. Accordingly, Item 5.(c) has
been amended and Amendment No. 7 is restated in its entirety.

Item 1. Security and Issuer

         This Schedule 13D/A relates to the Common Stock, $.10 par value per
share of Ultralife Batteries, Inc., the principal executive offices of which are
located at 2000 Technology Parkway, Newark, New York 14513.


Item 2. Identity and Background

         This Schedule 13D/A is being filed by Intermagnetics General
Corporation, a New York corporation that is a developer and manufacturer of
superconducting materials, electromagnetic components and cryogenic
refrigeration systems. The principal executive offices of the Reporting Person
are located at 450 Old Niskayuna Road, Latham, New York 12110.

         Schedule I to the Statement, which contains background information
regarding each executive officer and director of the Reporting Person and is
incorporated by reference into Item 2 of the Statement, is hereby amended and
restated to read in its entirety as set forth in Schedule I attached hereto.

         Neither the above-referenced persons, nor the Reporting Person has
been, during the last five years, (1) convicted in a criminal proceeding
(excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (2) a party to a
civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction
and as a result of such proceeding was or is a subject to a judgment, decree or
final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or finding any violation
with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

         Not applicable.
                                Page 3 of 6 Pages


Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

         On October 21, 2002, the Reporting Person sold 727,153 shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock at a price of $1.52 per share for total cash consideration
of $1,105,273. This sale divested the Reporting Person of all of its shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         (a) Item 5.(a) of the Statement is hereby amended and restated to read
in its entirety as follows:

The Reporting Person currently owns no shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer
(the "Shares").

         (b) Thomas L. Kempner, a director of the Reporting Person, owns, or has
voting power over, 15,600 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer,
corresponding to approximately 0.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Issuer. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares
beneficially owned by Mr. Kempner.

         (c) Item 5.(c) of the Statement is amended by adding to the end thereof
the following:

On October 21, 2002, the Reporting Person sold 727,153 shares of the Issuer's
Common Stock at a price of $1.52 per share in a negotiated brokerage transaction
reported on NASDAQ. Prior to October 21, 2002, the Reporting Person disposed of
certain shares of the Issuer's Common Stock in transactions that did not result
in a material decrease in the percentage of the class of shares beneficially
owned by the Reporting Person, including the disposition of 100,000 shares of
the Issuer's Common Stock at a price of $1.80 per share in a brokerage
transaction reported on NASDAQ on October 15, 2002.

         (d) No change.


         (e) See Item 4.

Except as described above, the Reporting Person has not effected any
transactions in the Issuer's Common Stock during the past 60 days.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to
Securities of the Issuer
