A123 recieves $69M from GE for investment

a123 also bought up the rights to the new MIT tech, allowing 20 second charges. They have also designed a 20ah prismatic cell for use in EVs. I think it will trickle down, and in our lifetime we will start seeing old landfills used as mines for scrap metals.

PA is going to be rich :)

I'm surprised they haven't released more cells to RC. I know they did the mini cells, but the std cells haven't changed since they were released. Obviously we are not where they are looking to make $$, but I did like my A123s quite a bit and it would be nice to see some 2gen stuff down the line.
