Advanced Battery Concepts is pleased to announce that it has selected battery equipment experts Wirtz Manufacturing to install production-scale paste lines for its Clare, Michigan prototype production facility using ABC's proprietary PrecisionAMâ„¢ pasting technology.

PrecisionAMâ„¢ pasting is a patent pending method of applying active materials to a bipolar electrode that demonstrates many advantages over existing lead grid pasting methods employed today.  Innovative PrecisionAMâ„¢ pasting allows for precise application of leady pastes with unparalleled weight and thickness consistency.  Even better, PrecisionAMâ„¢ pasting is extremely clean with no off-fall or dust, greatly improving environmental stewardship. 

Dr. Ed Shaffer commented, "Advanced Battery Concepts is delighted to be working with Wirtz, an industry recognized global leader in battery equipment manufacture. This equipment will allow Advanced Battery Concepts to demonstrate run at rate throughput and assist our licensees in their adoption of GreenSeal ® bipolar lead battery technology."    

John Wirtz commented, "Wirtz is very excited to be working with Advanced Battery Concepts on their manufacturing equipment needs. Advanced Battery Concepts has been able to demonstrate PrecisionAMâ„¢ pasting of bipolar electrodes repeatedly and successfully. Their resultant process is easily scalable, innovative, and simple. We look forward to the broad adoption by licensees of Advanced Battery Concepts bipolar lead battery technology and we believe Wirtz will be well positioned to globally support this emerging equipment demand."
