Well then scew them then, no wonder they went bankrupt they simply got what they deserved.
Hopefully Johnson Controls can straighten out the mess there at "a123".

Sounds like the best corse of action is buy more a123 excrement for far cheaper and make bigger batteries.

I got a very fast reply from Johnson Controls (my offical email always gets results), they do not own a123 yet but the person that replied to the email said: "I'm in the process of purchase" and that they couldn't help at this point.
