U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium awards contract to ENER1 Lithium Battery Group
Phase 1 Contract advances development of EnerDel's Li-Ion battery technology to improve the cost, performance and fuel efficiency of hybrid electric vehicles
The 12-month, cost-share contract is the first step of EnerDel's proposed three phase plan to launch a cost competitive lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery that is lighter, smaller and higher in power than existing battery technologies for hybrid electric vehicles. The company is collaborating with Argonne National Laboratory, one of the U.S. DOE's largest research centers, on the advanced materials that shall give the battery its superior characteristics. EnerDel's long-term plan includes the mass-manufacture of Li-Ion batteries in the state of Indiana using automated production technologies.
