Electro Energy Wins Battery Contract
Electro Energy Inc. of Danbury, Connecticut,
has been awarded a $1.1 million U.S. Air Force
contract supplement to continue development of
its manufacturing processes for a bipolar nickel-metal
hydride aircraft battery.
This additional 12-month technical effort will
further the development of equipment and processes
for the scale-up to production rates of the bipolar
NiMH technology, according to the company. Other
objectives include improving performance and reducing
the cost of the batteries to be competitive with
existing nickel-cadmium and lead-acid batteries.
The technology could also have applications in
the commercial sector for reserve electrical power
in automotive, aircraft, and hybrid vehicles.
