A123 (Nasdaq: AONE) says new battery technology to make EVs cheaper

Orlando, FL 6/12/12 (StreetBeat) -- A123 Systems Inc (Nasdaq: AONE) said it has developed a lithium ion battery technology that could eliminate the need for cooling and heating systems and reduce the cost of electric vehicles.

The technology, called Nanophosphate EXT, is designed to prolong cycle life at extremely high temperatures and deliver high power even at low temperatures, the company said on Tuesday.

"We believe Nanophosphate EXT is a game-changing breakthrough that overcomes one of the key limitations of lead acid, standard lithium ion and other advanced batteries," said David Vieau, Chief Executive of A123 Systems.

It will lower the costs and the weight of electric vehicles and can also be used in the telecommunications industry to cut costs at cell tower installations.

The announcement comes just days after the company said there was "substantial doubt" about its viability as a business and warned of steep losses over the next several quarters.

The losses stem from A123's recall of defective batteries built at its Livonia, Michigan plant.

A123 stock is down about 96 percent from the $28 range it used to trade at in 2009. That year, A123 was given a $249 million grant by the Obama administration, and it went public.

A123, which developed as a start-up at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, makes battery for the Fisker Karma, the BMW hybrid 3- and 5-Series cars and GM's all-electric Chevy Spark due in 2013.

The company said production of batteries based on the new technology will begin in the first of half of 2013.

It will initially make 20 ampere-hour prismatic cells with Nanophosphate EXT. It is also evaluating plans to offer the technology across all its cell products.

A123 shares were trading at $1.23, up 18 percent, on Tuesday morning on the Nasdaq.

The battery equipment might contain defective components called prismatic cells, which were made at its factory in Livonia, Mich.There is a chance, because of the problem, that battery equipment could fail early, but does not pose a safety issue, the company said.

A123 Systems expects to start shipping replacement packs and modules to affected customers this week. The company said the cost of replacing the equipment will be about $55 million, and will be paid for over the next several quarters.

The defects were not found in prismatic cells manufactured outside the Livonia factory, the company said.

A123 Systems makes lithium ion batteries for electric cars. The company said it is taking steps to improve its manufacturing process, including the hiring in January of Chief Operating Officer Ed Kopkowski.

Kopkowski was previously vice president of operational excellence at auto supplier Dana Holding Corp (NYSE: DAN). He has more than 25 years of management and operational experience in improving quality and reducing costs, the company said.

Shares of A123 Systems Inc. slid 18 cents to $1.52 in morning trading, giving up all of the gains from earlier this month when the company announced that it would supply Indian automaker Tata Motors with lithium ion battery packs for use in commercial vehicle hybrid electric systems.

Shares at one point fell to $1.48, surpassing a previous low reached in December.

A123 Systems (Nasdaq: AONE) to Supply Batteries for Tata Commercial Vehicles

Austin, TX 3/1/12 (StreetBeat) -- A123 Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: AONE), a maker of batteries for electric vehicles, said it will supply packs for Tata Motors Ltd. (NYSE: TTM)’s commercial vehicles.

“The addition of Tata Motors to our growing portfolio of blue-chip customers reinforces our position as the leading provider of lithium-ion battery technology for the truck and bus segment,” Jason Forcier, vice president of A123’s automotive group, said in the statement.

A123 supplies batteries for automakers including Fisker Automotive Inc., General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) and Daimler AG.

Fisker said Feb. 28 it hired Tom LaSorda, a past president of the predecessor of Chrysler Group LLC, as chief executive officer. Fisker also said it may look for private investors to revive the Delaware factory, where it planned to begin making its second model, the Nina sedan, by next year.
