Johnson Controls (JCI) plans to build a $100-million start-stop SLI battery plant in China, with production expected to start in early 2013. The company plans to produce an annual capacity of 2.4-million start-stop batteries by 2015 for local and global automakers. JCI anticipates the market for start-stop vehicles will grow to 35-million globally by 2015 and it will invest $520-million worldwide over the next four years in additional production capacity for start-stop batteries: $280-million in Germany, an additional $140-million in the US, and $100-million in China. In Germany, the company has plants in Hanover and Zwickau that produce more than 11-million start-stop batteries annually. The company is also adding 6.8-million units of capacity in the US.
