April 15, 2008 – Vol.13 No.4 Johnson Controls-Saft and Maxwell Technologies to Collaborate on Electrodes for Lithium-Ion Hybrid Vehicle Batteries. The electrodes for Li-Ion battery applications will incorporate Maxwell's proprietary process successfully demonstrated in ultracapacitor applications. Through their collaboration, the two companies will evaluate the integration of Maxwell's proprietary electrode process into the mass production of lithium-ion batteries for hybrid vehicles. "Our goal is to develop breakthrough technology on electrode manufacturing to reduce the cost and environmental impact of advanced automotive batteries for hybrid vehicles," said Mary Ann Wright, who leads the Johnson Controls-Saft joint venture and is vice president and general manager of Johnson Controls' hybrid business. "Johnson Controls-Saft is an ideal advanced battery collaborator with which to explore a high-volume application that could create substantial additional value from the patented process Maxwell originally developed to produce carbon powder-based ultracapacitor electrode material," said Maxwell's president and chief executive officer David Schramm.
Maxwell is a leading developer and manufacturer of innovative, cost-effective energy storage and power delivery solutions for for applications in consumer and industrial electronics, transportation, telecommunications and the electric utility infrastructure. Johnson Controls-Saft is a joint venture that has brought together Johnson Controls -- the world's leading supplier of automotive batteries and a company deeply experienced in integrated automotive systems solutions -- with Saft, an advanced energy storage solutions provider with extensive Li-ion battery expertise.
