I see this as a good thing. Johnson Controls is a competent company that has been around for well over 100 years, and has been into battery technology for quite a long time. They'll be able to invest the money required and move the product forward instead of struggling at every step. A123 has a great product, but sadly they can't seem to handle money better than a 4 year old.

IMO its also great to see the company and technology stay in the US instead of heading to China as it seemed would happen.
