A123 Systems plans a Michigan production facility.
Individual lithium ion prismatic cells are integrated with a proprietary battery management safety system to create an efficient and flexible energy storage system integrated into all of Chrysler’s upcoming electric drive vehicles, helping increase production volumes of the shared battery cell and shared battery module.
Chrysler’s approach reduces development time, investment, and overall battery system cost by combining the economics of high-volume component sharing without sacrificing the battery pack flexibility needed to develop a wide range of customer driven electric drive vehicles.
