Lithium Technology and Enersys to collaborate on lithium batteries

Lithium Technologies (LTC) and EnerSys have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in which the two companies announce they're joining forces to distribute large lithium-ion batteries. EnerSys will become the distributor of battery packs using LTC's lithium ion cells for diverse applications, thus complementing EnerSys's current lineup of lead acid battery products (for instance, this Quebec plug-in hybrid test). Enersys will focus on military and defense applications as well as stationary installations. The collaboration will help expand volumes and hopefully drive economies of scale for LTC's cells. The MOU defines a 3-year long agreement which can be extended afterwards. More information will be released by the end of the summer, when the complete agreement is signed. Full press release after the jump.

Lithium ion-powered ThunderStruck bike sets new speed record

In mid-February, an electric bike built by ThunderStruck Motors and Lithium Technology Corporation raced a 1/8 mile course in 7.169 seconds, setting a new record of 93 mph in the 96 volt class. The previous record was 78 mph.

The electric drag bike uses 72 of LTC's 7.5Ah DD cells and has 2 kWh of available energy. Combine that with a bike the weighs just 53 pounds and you've got the recipe for a machine that will do the 1/4 mile faster than the bikes it was racing against, some of which had 240 volts of power. I'm still looking for a picture of the bike, but you can find the official announcement of the result after the jump.

Lithium Technology Corporation to Launch Advanced New Product Line

Posted Feb 22nd 2008 at 7:43PM by Sebastian Blanco

Filed under: Emerging Technologies, EV/Plug-in, Hybrid

Last year, the Lithium Technology Corporation added their high-density lithium iron phosphate batteries to a Prius to display the batteries' power (supposedly, enough to get 125 mpge). in 2006, the company worked on a prototype Smart ForFour diesel-hybrid. Now, LTC has launched a new product line of those batteries for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. The batteries are the largest li-ion phosphate (LiFePO4) cells in the world and range in power from 8 Ah to 40 Ah.

LTC claims in a press release (after the jump) that their large format technology means their batteries are safer and also lighter than other systems. With fewer cells to keep an eye on, the battery management system (BMS) can do a better job of balancing them and preventing voltage and heat issues. Neither the release nor the company's website mention price, but it's safe to assume a high price tag.
