Self contained batteries for direct replacement of lead acid

April 10th, 2013 update:

A123 Systems has been diligently working to correct some rare conditions that affect series configurations of ALM modules. The conditions require a 13.8V charger to be connected to each individual battery in the event a fault condition is tripped which results in the terminals being placed in a high impedance mode to protect the battery as part of its normal mode of operation, such as (UVP) Under Voltage Protection, (OVP) Over Voltage Protection and (OTP) Over Temperature Protection. Upon connecting the charger, the battery will detect the 13.8V charger and will “wake-up” activating its terminals.

After thorough testing and several updates to the battery management firmware, A123 Systems is confident that they have corrected all the issues and will be ready to ship ALM modules to us by April 19th. That means that we should have modules in stock the following week. Please check back then or use the "Email me when Back-In-Stock" function of either of the ALM pages for instant notification upon their arrival.

The ANR26650M1-B cells are expected to be included in that shipment and will mark the first time that A123 Systems cells are officially available for sale to the public. Again, use the "Email me when Back-In-Stock" function on the ANR26650M1-B cell page for instant notification upon their arrival.

We've been told to expect the APR18650M1-A cells in late June to early July 2013. -- EVDM Corporation

Small form factor lead acid batteries suffer from performance, life, and chargeability issues in high performance applications such as IT and Telecom backup, medical cart, UPS, and cable applications.
