Johnson Controls redesigned nearly 46,000sq ft of existing labs and office space in the Battery Technology Center to enhance labs used to support mass battery production for the customers.
The renovation was supported in part by the $299m American Recovery and Reinvestment Act matching grant Johnson Controls received in 2009.
In addition, the company also made R&D equipment and scientific investments, including new labs at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Johnson Controls Advanced Battery vice president and general manager and Johnson Controls-Saft CEO Ray Shemanski said the production includes a full technology range from advanced lead-acid batteries through Li-ion and alternate cell chemistries.
