    Apple is being sued by a company that makes batteries used in electric vehicles.

    A123 Systems has filed suit, accusing Apple of raiding its workforce, grabbing top engineers to get ahead of the game in battery development. A former A123 employee has also been named, accused of recruiting for Apple.
