On January 1, 2004, Apollo Energy Systems, Inc. moved to a new location, a pilot plant facility in Pompano Beach, Florida. Pilot plant and laboratory equipment for the production of Apollo Fuel Cells has been received and installation will begin on January 19, 2004. Initial production is expected in February or March.
The new plant will also house a Lead Cobalt Battery laboratory where prototypes of the new, light weight battery will be built with Apollo Lead Foam substrate material to substitute for heavy lead grids now used in all Lead-Acid Batteries. The surface area of lead foam is much greater than the surface area of lead grids. That means far greater contact between the substrate and active material resulting in higher energy and power density. The new light weight battery will be produced by Millennium Battery Company in Miami, Florida.
An electric vehicle prototype shop will be included in the new facility where Apollo’s electric propulsion system will be installed in various types of vehicles. The combination of battery and fuel cell in this system will result in exceptional vehicle performance.
Apollo plans to have an Open House for all interested parties. The date will be announced soon.
