Tesla turns to LGChem for batteries, shunning Panasonic.

I wonder if this might extend to the PowerWall business, and if so... whether Ideal's converters may replace the Israeli company's inverters that Tesla has previously announced they'd be using. If Ideal wanted a reason to enter the residential space, surely a partnership with Tesla would be it. Whether the "numbers makes sense" or not for residential, Ideal would be one of the providers best positioned to profit from a large-scale deployment of any type (residential, commercial, industrial, micro-grid, grid base load....).
