Boston Power is at it again. The 4
year old company located in Westborough, Mass is scheduled to hold a press
conference this Monday June 1st, 2009 in Auburn, MA where it proposes to build a
factory to make lithium-ion batteries for laptops and electric cars.
We have been covering Boston Power since we met them at CntrStg
during CES 2009 about their great Sonata battery that came to the market at
with the Enviro
batteries for the major consumer HP
notebooks.
Going green is their their vision is durable and longer lasting batteries
that maintain their capacity. In line with their green vision they don't want to
waist any of the federal grant money on a new building, but will plan to convert
and old Filene's Basement warehouse into a 600 employee factory.
The move to add the automobile industry for their battery technology is major
step for Boston Power. The battery developed for the automobile industry will be
called Swing.
