Troubled US energy storage firm A123 Systems has announced its business focused on batteries for electric grid, backup power and lead-acid replacements will be branded A123 Energy Solutions, combining the activities of several previous groups.
This new division, headquartered in Westborough, Massachusetts, will continue to design, develop, and manufacture lithium-ion energy storage systems ranging from small industrial batteries to multi-megawatt grid-scale energy storage systems.
A123 Energy Solutions will also continue to support its network of value-add channel partners, distributors and resellers for A123 Systems’ Nanophosphate cell products.
“A123 Energy Solutions has always been focused on high performance, safe and reliable battery systems and will continue to develop new energy storage products under this new brand, which helps to distinguish our activities from the transportation division in Livonia and the technologies division in Waltham,” said Bud Collins, President of A123 Energy Solutions.
