EnerDel Inc., an Indianapolis battery developer that last month announced a $100 million expansion, said today it has received a $4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to create lightweight batteries for unmanned aircraft and for tracking military assets in harsh climates.

EnerDel's expansion announcement was related to a contract it received to make batteries for an electric car to be assembled by a Norway company. About 277 jobs are expected to be created at its headquarters at 8740 Hague Road and at 15425 Herriman Boulevard in Noblesville.

The company is still scouting sites for a battery manufacturing plant. That location, which will be in Indiana, will hire 478 employees.

EnerDel is owned by New York-based Ener1 Group Inc
