Trojan Battery Showcases Smart Carbon(TM) Line of Advanced Lead Acid Batteries at Intersolar Europe

Munich (ots) - Smart Carbon Designed to Improve Battery
Performance in Partial State of Charge

Trojan Battery, Co. LLC, will showcase its new lines of deep-cycle
batteries featuring Smart Carbon(TM) technology which addresses the
impact of partial state of charge (PSOC) on cycling batteries in
renewable energy (RE), inverter backup and remote telecom
applications. Smart Carbon is designed to enhance life and
performance of Trojan batteries operating in PSOC.

Smart Carbon is a standard feature in Trojan Battery's Industrial
and Premium flooded battery lines, and are now available. Customers
can contact their local Trojan Battery distributor or dealer for
pricing in their area.

Smart Carbon is a proprietary Trojan formula which provides
improved performance when the batteries operate in PSOC, enhancing
overall battery life in off-grid and unstable grid applications where
the batteries are under charged on a regular basis. Along with
increased life in PSOC, Trojan's Smart Carbon provides improved
charge acceptance and faster recharge in PSOC applications.

With batteries now being one of the most expensive components of
RE, inverter backup and remote telecom systems, it is critical to
maximize the life of the battery bank in order to reduce total cost
of ownership. Trojan understands that batteries used in these systems
are regularly cycled at PSOC due to the intermittency of solar
generation, an unstable grid or to minimize operating costs of a
hybrid Charge-Discharge-Cycle (CDC) system. Operating at PSOC can
quickly diminish the overall life of a lead acid battery, which
results in frequent and costly battery replacements.

Trojan chose to add Smart Carbon first to its deep-cycle flooded
batteries because flooded technology is the most widely used in
off-grid and unstable grid applications globally due to its cycling
performance, ability to withstand harsh conditions, widespread
availability and economical price point.

"Trojan Battery is the first manufacturer to introduce a carbon
additive as a standard feature in its deep-cycle flooded batteries
used in RE, inverter backup and remote telecom applications.
Trojan?s engineering team has spent more than five years in research
and development experimenting with many types of carbon to ensure the
right formula to successfully address PSOC," said Bryan Godber,
senior vice president of global market development at Trojan Battery.
"While most carbon additive research has focused on VRLA batteries
for start-stop automotive applications, Trojan's focus has been on
the addition of carbon to deep-cycle flooded batteries for stationary
applications in off-grid and unstable grid locations. Trojan is
committed to these market segments and will continue to be an
innovative leader in the energy storage space."
