Airbus to drop Lithium-Ion batteries in new A350 passenger jet
Aircraft maker Airbus has decided to drop Lithium-Ion batteries and switch to traditional nickel-cadmium batteries for its new A350 passenger jet.
A123 Systems Inc. said it will supply lithium-ion battery packs to electric-vehicle maker Via Motors, aiming to meet rising demand from commercial and government users that can benefit from electrified fleets.
