Electro Energy, Inc.
High-power, high-voltage battery technologies
Electro Energy, headquartered in Danbury, Connecticut, was founded in March 1992 by Martin G. Klein, who has over 40 years of experience in the advanced battery field. Prior to founding Electro Energy, Mr. Klein was one of the founding principals of Energy Research Corp., now known as Fuel Cell Energy.
Electro Energy focuses on the development and ultimate commercialization of a concept for a bipolar nickel-metal hydride (BP Ni-MH) rechargeable battery. Since its founding, Electro Energy has developed and owns both the patented design of BP Ni-MH batteries and the patented production process for their manufacture. Electro Energy has produced and delivered prototype BP Ni-MH batteries for the U.S. Army (field radios and silent watch applications), NASA (satellites), Partnership for a New Generation Vehicle (hybrid vehicles), NAVAIR and U.S. Air Force (F-18 and F-16 Aircraft), National Institute of Health (NIH) (heart assist pumps), and the Department of Energy (DOE) (distributed energy and power quality), that have demonstrated performance advantages over existing technologies.
EEI’s fundamental bipolar packaging design is now being applied to other battery systems. Working with In-Q-Tel, EEI is extending this technology to lithium battery chemistry. The technology addresses a broad market mix including government and defense applications, power tools, distributed and directed energy applications, aerospace and automotive industries.
Energy’s Colorado Springs facility, Electro Energy Mobile Products Inc., acquired in 2003 from privately held Eagle Picher Technologies, supplies Super NiCd’s for U.S. Government satellite systems, legacy military aircraft such as the B-52, B-1 and Cobra Helicopters and manufactures BP Ni-MH and industrial Ni-Cd products.
In-Q-Tel initially invested in Electro Energy, Inc., in March 2004. For more information about EEI, please visit www.electroenergyinc.com.
Electro Energy Inc., is a publicly held company whose shares are traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol EEEI.
