Manuf	Comments
A123	The original* M1 cell is the best cell for power applications (lowest DC resistance) Owns HyMotion (Prius PHEV conversions) Used in the KillaCycle Actively recalling cells already in the field Only way to get them now is by disassembling DeWalt packs The original* M1 cell explodes like a fire cracker if exposed to flames, violently ejecting its contents Tested by Zeva (Zero Emission Vehicle Australia) safety guidelines charging instructions pack design (*) There is evidence that A123 has since changed the M1 cell: its DC resistance now appears to be much higher, and matches the K2 cell's. Their propensity to explode may have been reduced in the process, but we know of no testing in that regard.
Advanced Battery Factory	Catering to RC hobbyists Provides cells welded together Very little tech info on site Also known as Splendid Battery
Aleees	While they offer LiMg cells on their site, they do not actually make them.
Amperex Technology Limited (ATL)	No specs on website They also make an 18650 LiFePo4. No info on website
Baoding Fengfan New Energy Co	Similar to K2 and A123 cells, but steeper slope (lower voltage)
BYB
CENS
Compact Power	Intended directly for auto manufacturers, not for small end users
EiG	They make cells, modules, batteries, BMSs Hard to locate website, with minimal content Contact form
Electrovaya	Higher voltage (comparable to LiCo), but safe (comparable to LiFePO4) No info on website Specs are confidential and not available for publication Maxed-out production
Enerland	Wholly owned subsidiary of A123 High power / high capacity cells in development Second factory in China Sell batteries with 2 to 6 cells in series Focused on the RC (Remote Controlled toys) market
Gaia	Very limited ability to respond to inquiries. US presence, through partner LithiumTech, has been drastically reduced
Gold Peak	Not officially released, no info on website
Huanyu	Tested by Zeva (Zero Emission Vehicle Australia)
Kayo	Cooperation of China Dali Corporation and Japan Kayo Company Also makes LiIon cobalt cells, NiMH cells, assembled batteries
K2 Energy Solutions	The LFP26650P is a comparable to the A123 M1 The LFP26650EV has more energy but even higher DC resistance The LFP165EVS and LFP300EVS are actually assemblies of small cylindrical cells in a prismatic case Ease of connections of prismatics Reliability and good thermal characteristics of small cylindricals They will weld cells for you in blocks They sell a 5P4S block, and a 26P1S brick, of either the LFP26650P or LFP26650EV cells When exposed to flames, nothing bad happens
Kokam	Link to website of US branch removed, as it is no longer navigable.
Optimum
Phet	Tested by Zeva (Zero Emission Vehicle Australia)
PSI
SAFT	For military applications
Shandong Hipower	Users report widely differing reviews on cell quality Presentation not very business-like Website is often unavailable Specification sheets unavailable, other than simplistic propaganda
Sky Energy / CALB	A subsidiary of of China Airborne Missile Academy Joint venture manufacturer / partner of Thundersky Makes batteries for the Chinese Military (180,000ah each day) Jeff Shanab's table comparing prismatic cell specs
Tenergy	Their specs have no hard data
Thundersky	In early days, reports of infant mortality due to oxidation at terminals Presently very popular among hobbyists Yahoo group of Thundersky users Jeff Shanab's table comparing prismatic cell specs Also "Zhejiang GBS Energy Co"
Valence	Offers complete batteries with BMS Used in some EnergyCS Prius PHEV conversions Cells tested by Zeva (Zero Emission Vehicle Australia)
Zhejiang Headway	They show 18650 and 26650 as well, but they're 3.7 V, so they must be Cobalt, not LiFePo4 Cells are available with tapped holes for screw mount (instead of welding) Tested by Zeva (Zero Emission Vehicle Australia)
