Eagle-Picher currently has several advanced battery systems both under development and in production for electric vehicle propulsion applications. Recognizing that the batteries are the limiting factor in terms of electric vehicle cost and performance, Eagle-Picher has adopted a broad-based approach to solve this problem. Nickel-iron and nickel-cadmium electric vehicle batteries are currently in production as a near-term alternative to standard lead-acid technology. The nickel-metal-hydride battery chemistry is in the initial production stages as a replacement for these systems. Silver-metal hydride is also being developed for special purpose, high energy applications such as race vehicles. Nickel-hydrogen and sodium-sulfur batteries are in production for aerospace systems and are under development for electric vehicle and other terrestrial applications. Eagle-Picher silver-zinc batteris have been successful in such events as the Solar 300 race, the GM Sunrayce and the Australian World Solar Challenge. Eagle-Picher has also been involved in development of lithium-metal sulfide, lithium-aluminum/iron-disulfide and zinc-air battery technology for electric vehicle applications.
