Apollo Energy Systems Inc. has moved to a facility in Pompano Beach, Florida. Plant and laboratory equipment for the production of Apollo Fuel Cells has been installed.

The new plant will also house a lead cobalt battery laboratory where prototypes of the new, lightweight 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 tri-polar battery will be produced by subcontractor Millennium Battery Co. 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.
