Flux Power, a startup led by the co-founder of vehicle manufacturer Aptera, is targeting the LSV and golf car markets with their lithium based power systems.  Flux Power’s products manage, monitor and charge lithium batteries.  Flux Power products are designed to work with batteries from a variety of manufacturers to create modular battery units.  A vehicle manufacturer or other customers could then combine units to create custom battery packs.  Smart charging technology can be integrated as well. By increasing the efficiency of lithium battery packs and thereby lowering costs, the company hopes to penetrate markets currently dominated by lead-acid batteries.  Products are expected to be available in November, 2009.  Learn more:  Earth2tech.com
