September 13, 2006 EnerDel Installs Production Line EnerDel, a subsidiary of Ener1,Inc (OTC BB: ENEI.OB) in which Delphi holds a minority interest, has announced that it has installed its first mass production line for lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery electrodes at the company's Indiana facility. EnerDel is developing a Li-ion battery solution that they claim will improve the performance, fuel efficiency and cost of Hybrid Electric Vehicles. EnerDel expects to succeed at being the first company to cost-competitively mass-produce a Li-ion battery in the United States. With this capability EnerDel can now demonstrate its production approach and expertise to automotive companies and OEMs, as well as begin their required qualification process to mass produce batteries for their future HEV models. EnerDel is now testing manufactured prototypes of battery cells and related manufacturing equipment. The new production line is capable of producing the electrode equivalent of 5,000 Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) batteries (25KW) per month. EnerDel's production line includes two Hirano Tecseed Coaters, because, from a quality control standpoint, it is vital to have two coating lines to allow the coating of anodes and cathodes separately to avoid any contamination. Their products offer high rates of power output, high energy capacity and long life. Proprietary nanothechology-derived cathode materials enable it primary and rechargeable cells to have high energy density. They use a Manganese Spinel annode, a hard carbon Lithium-titanate cathode, and a stack configuration. They claim that their battery is safer than competing Li-ion technologies, without any further explanation. More... thefraserdomain.typepad.com
