Abstract :
Electrosource is now in production with an electric vehicle battery based on fundamental advances in materials design, manufacturing processes and well understood lead-acid electrochemistry. A production twelve-volt module has been independently tested at 44 Wh/kg, 300 W/kg and 280 DST cycles. Chrysler has chosen the Electrosource Horizon Battery for their EV Minivan that will be produced by 1998. The Horizon battery is being successfully tested in other markets, including SLI, UPS and portable power
