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.
