A number of hot battery stocks have cooled off in the last month, offering more attractive valuations.

Case in point A123 Systems (NASDAQ: AONE - News), the Watertown, Massachusetts-based lithium ion battery maker whose third-quarter losses widened after its well-publicized, late-September initial public offering. The stock slipped on yesterday's earnings report, but the 3% uptick in total revenue and a new contract with BMW gave investors a reason to stay optimistic.

VentureBeat credits the A123's PR team for putting a positive spin on the mixed results, and noted that the company's success largely depends on growth in the electric car market, which could be years down the road. However, many major automakers have an electric offering in the works, so the battery sector's recent pullback could be a buying opportunity to get in on a technology that could eventually be a mainstay of the auto industry.

Electric cars aren't the only thing driving components of the Energy Storage and Battery Technology Stocks Index.

Other Chinese energy storage plays are down sharply in the last month. China BAK Battery (NASDAQ: CBAK - News) is back to its summer levels after spiking sharply in September. Part of the more recent pullback is attributable to a 5.8 million unit offering worth $20.6 million
