The Durathon's chemistry was developed in the 1970s in South Africa. Daimler-Benz used the technology to power its pint-size A-Class electric vehicles. One of the Durathon's key components, a ceramic tube separating the positive and negative terminals, grew out of work at Ford  in the 1960s and was improved by Beta Research & Development in Derby, U.K. GE acquired Beta R&D in 2007.[/font][/size]
