A123 Systems common stock listed as AONE on the NASDAQ stock exchange started it’s trading life recently with a bang…increasing from an initial opening price of $13.50 and ending the day at $20.20 per share. The 50% single day increase no doubt delighted energy investors and entrepreneurs alike, especially since the Massachusetts-based battery maker was one of the first green technology and energy-related companies going public in the last decade.
A123 Systems uses nano technology to coat the electrodes of it’s batteries, effectively increasing the surface area which provides for increased thermal stability and improved durability over the life of the battery.
The lithium ion batteries produced by A123 Systems will more than likely be used by General Motors for the Volt and plug-in hybrid Vue programs and Chrysler’s electric and extended range vehicles.
