- Lithium Technology Corporation historically specialized in the engineering, production, distribution, and sale of advanced rechargeable power solutions. The company concentrated on developing and fabricating substantial cylindrical lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable cells, alongside integrated Li-ion battery systems equipped with sophisticated battery management technology. These solutions found utility across various sectors, including the transportation, defense, and stationary power industries. Their diverse product range encompassed high-power cells, typically spanning capacities from 7.5 to 45 Ampere-hours, specifically engineered for hybrid electric vehicles and military applications. They also provided high-energy cells, offering capacities between 10 and 485 Ampere-hours, suitable for deployments such as backup power and remote standby installations. Additionally, the portfolio included sizable battery packs rated up to 600 volts with capacities exceeding 1.2 megawatt-hours, as well as individual cells that were integrated into customized large battery configurations complete with essential electronic controls. The firm marketed its offerings to industrial clients, retail channels, government entities, academic research institutions, and national defense agencies, primarily serving markets in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Based in Fairfax, Virginia, Lithium Technology Corporation ultimately ceased operations, having initiated a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 reorganization with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on December 5, 2014. This reorganization effort was subsequently converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation on June 12, 2015, effectively ending the company's business activities.
