Firefly Energy Inc. said Monday it has lined up a manufacturing partner to launch its first battery, which will primarily power TVs and other amenities in a truck driver's sleeper car.
Firefly, a developer of led-acid battery technology, signed a contract with C&D Technologies (NYSE: CHP), which will make Firefly's battery under the Oasis brand. Oasis batteries will roll off C&D's factory in Milwaukee, Wis., beginning in the first quarter of 2009.
Founded in 2003, the Peoria, Ill-based Firefly has been developing batteries for the commercial and military markets. The company closed a $15 million, third-round of financing in June this year from investors including Quercus Trust, Khosla Ventures and Infield Capital (see Toyota Drives Toward Greener Fleet).
