Re: [EVDL] Battery - Altairnano, not cheap!

I just got this response today,

Hello Rod,

Thank you for your interest in Altairnano's technology. Altairnano's 24V 50Ah
modules are based on our nano lithium titanate chemistry which allows for high
power rating, fast charge and discharges, as well as a very high cycle life.
When paired with a development kit it provides a test bed for the evaluation and
application of advanced lithium-ion battery technology for prototypes, new
application development, and for improving performance and reducing cost for
existing applications. The cost of a standard kit which includes the Connection
and Control Unit, Wiring, Battery Management System, and one 24V 50ah module is
$5,000 USD. Additional modules for series operation can be purchase at $3,000
per module.

If you are interested in discussing this further please feel free to contact me.

Best Regards,

Michael Brunell

Well, I emailed them asking about the application kit that they sell. We'll
see if they respond and how many millions they want for it. It would be
great to be able to test some of their claims.

Re: [EVDL] Battery - Altairnano, not cheap!

That's insane pricing......

For a 144v pack you would need 6 of those 24v modules and at $5000/each you
are looking at a $30,000 50ah pack. Not practical in any way shape or form.
I bet their only client is the government so you and me all will be paying
these insane prices.

The Phoenix SUT uses them, AFAIK. Have not heard anything about
Phoenix in a long while. I think they are only going after the fleet
market.

Second and subsequent 24v modules are $3K. Six for $20K. Still,
seemingly, an unattractive deal. A ~20KWH pack would cost ~$56K.

Isn't it obvious that they don't want to sell to the conversion
market? Their after the big fish, not us little minnows.

Yes, it certainly is. At the prices quoted, they are about 8 times the
cost of TS or SE cells. I was just correcting a relatively minor
mis-statement by Douglas, not suggesting use in conversions.

Re: [EVDL] Battery - Altairnano, not cheap!

Sorry about the misstatement. Saw the $5000 and then hit reply.....Insane
pricing....period! Same as International Battery. They are not interested
in the automotive market at all thus all our EV batteries are still going to
have to come from abroad!

Re: [EVDL] Battery - Altairnano, not cheap!

I just emailed them back (I got the same email with the $3000 and $5000
figures). I figured it to be about six times more expensive to buy their
cells than to go with TS. I told them that too. We'll see how amused they
are to get my email.
