After 3 years in business, ActaCell Inc. turned out to be the type of lithium-ion battery cells that could one day go into an electrical vehicle.CEO Bill Ott Estimates his company can make about a dozen high-quality battery cells in a week by hand. The company says it is 96 of his cells in the small, soft bag produced will take to the battery, which brings the power form, required for a hybrid-electric vehicle. The company's first target market is the electric delivery vans.
The battery cell is the key part of the batteries, because there occurs the chemical change that causes an electrical current.
Commissioning is in the second Round of the increase is of crucial importance of private investment funding and has chosen a prototype stage production company to produce up to several thousand high-quality cells this year.
Once these prototypes in the hands of potential customers and the Department of Energy researchers, Ott thinks the company can demonstrate to the world that his Technology deliver better and cheaper batteries.
"These tests are absolutely critical for us," said Ott. "This is a critical year for us, but every year is critical for a start. "
In 2009, ActaCell part of a concerted campaign by some of the economic development activists Austin to attract the headquarters of a consortium of companies, the Federal funds for a new Apple-A1185 Battery Apple A1175 battery manufacturing and development plant. The excitement died down quickly, if held, the consortium chose a different headquarters, but ActaCell . driving
Even if the company is a tiny player in the industry dominated by corporate giants, Ott says his company has a reasonable path to business Success, in part because industry conditions have aligned in their favor.
For one thing, the federal government financial support and incentives to develop to accelerate alternative-fuel vehicles offered as part of a campaign to reduce the country's dependence on foreign oil. That's part of the Why push automakers, including General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. to develop and sell new cars and hybrid-electric vehicles are.
Ott says that the vehicle manufacturer far cry from the cost and performance of today's bill Batteries Acer Aspire 5920 Battery Acer Aspire 6935G battery are satisfied.
GM, for example, It is reported that pays more than $ 5,000 for each battery powers its newly launched hybrid Chevy Volt. GM would like to say a few batteries, industry experts, to pay, it can make the Volt more cost-competitive with conventional gasoline-powered cars.
"In the final analysis, it is all about the cost," Ott said. "We got a lot of interest because we are using low-cost material" in the battery cells.
Lithium-ion battery technology has been commercially used since 1991, especially in smaller products such as laptop computers and power tools. It is, as the preferred battery technology for electric vehicles considered, because they more Power with less weight and space than older delivers Toshiba pa3594u-1BRS Toshiba pa3534u-1BRS Battery types. But lithium-ion technology to develop further, as the researchers to find new materials to reduce the performance and cost.
ActaCell is seriously in the Battery World taken because the company is a close relationship with one of the world's leading battery-Researchers at the University of Texas professor Arumugam "Ram" Manthiram. Manthiram is one of the founders of the company and the leading technical advisor, while his full-time teaching and research activities at UT continue.
The binding to Manthiram ActaCell is the company far more recognition and credibility early, when it would otherwise be the case.
"But we still have it show from there, "said Ott.
In addition to potential clients with highly motivated, Ott says his company has another factor in their favor – the threat of flood of unused capacity in the advanced battery Compaq nc4200 Compaq nc6000 battery factories are under construction.
Thanks to federal economic stimulus programs, five companies – including a subsidiary of South Korea's LG Group – Advanced Battery build plants in the U.S. If these factories go into operation next year, they are actively hunting for promising technologies in their new high-productive use of factories.
If ActaCell, a commitment from one of the first customers to get, Ott believes that he will negotiate a partnership with one of five companies, the federal stimulus money. There will be a delicate negotiation, he said, because the partner for the production will also be a potential competitor.
"We will not result in a battery factory's 200 million U.S. dollars," said Ott. "We are on materials used in the large factory can be used to work. This is the future of the company, and that's what we do. "
The battery industry can be tough Start-ups. Another Austin Sony VGP-BPS2A battery company Valence Technology, Inc. was started in 1989 and was unprofitable for most of its history. But after fight For years, Valence is a starting point to get sales traction.
The company announced a $ 13 million battery contract in August with Smith Electric Vehicles, the all-electric commercial truck makes. Analyst Rob Young of WM Smith Securities Inc. in Denver, says the company was able to make a profit next year, when its sales reach $ 80 million level.
ActaCell is Ott says the right forces come into play – from the federal government supported push for greater production of electric vehicles and the push to reduce the cost of vehicle manufacturers – to accelerate the adoption rate if its battery prototype points in tests.
The Dell Inspiron 1340 battery company so far $ 5.8 million in private investment and raised an additional $ 1,000,000 in a grant from the Texas Emerging Technology Fund.
ActaCell also won a small grant from the U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium, which is backed by GM, Ford and Chrysler. These funds are for the testing and evaluation of battery cells ActaCell is in the Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory paid in Illinois.
The company also recently received a $ 3,000,000 grant from the Department of Commerce to try another battery to develop material for an all-electric vehicle. The scholarship could be the development of a second battery product line for ActaCell.
Private investment and public funds have helped small businesses fill their lab with lots of amenities – most of them bought second hand – for the production Battery test prototypes, and they make an accurate analysis of the specific material properties, the company has for its cells to formulate. The Company does not disclose is still used what material there.
An important addition to the laboratory is a 420-square-foot "dry room" – a very low humidity modular production rooms, which are required to make lithium battery acer as07b41 cells.
The room operates at less than half a percent relative humidity, the type of climatic conditions make it necessary to work properly lithium-ion cells.
ActaCell got a good price for his dry room by a California company had not used it. It only paid $ 90 000 for the dry area, Ott said, which is about a quarter of the price.
Said "I have a good group of supportive investors," Ott. "We're trying them by rewarding them sparingly."
Ned Hill, managing Director of DFJ Mercury, an early investor in ActaCell says the company has a payout bargain hunting. The less money ActaCell must increase at an early stage, the easier it will have time later, when it is time that comes to finance expected growth.
"I've never seen a Dell Inspiron E6500 Battery Dell Inspiron 5150 battery company that is more efficient use of investment capital. "Hill said." It's really impressive how much they have to get done so little capital. "
While the company's future depends on doing tests and evaluations of potential customers, said Hill have their own test results Investors optimistic about its prospects.
"We think we are in a very competitive position," he said.
