Enerdel to unveil lithium ion battery pack for hybrid vehicles

EnerDel, the subsidiary of Ener1 Inc that recently got some cash from the Department of Energy for battery development will be making a big announcement next Tuesday. The company plans to show off a new lithium-ion battery pack that they have developed for hybrid vehicles. The pack is initially intended to go into hybrid vehicles but it will be developed further for use in plug-in hybrids and full battery electric vehicles. EnerDel is jointly owned by Ener1 and Delphi with the latter holding a minority 19.5 percent stake. The announcement will be webcast on the company's website. The pack to be shown is functional and will now be put into a test vehicle which they expect to have running by December of this year.
