Trojan Battery Launches New Solar AGM Line of True Deep-Cycle Batteries

Munich (ots) -

Trojan Battery booth B1.260

Trojan Battery Co., LLC, the world's leading manufacturer of
deep-cycle batteries, today announced the launch of its new line of
maintenance-free, true deep-cycle absorbent glass mat (AGM) batteries
specifically designed for solar and other renewable energy
applications. The new Trojan Solar AGM line is manufactured in the
U.S.

Offering a three-year warranty for stationary applications, and
tested to an eight-year design life under IEC 61427 standard for
solar batteries, this initial release includes a wide range of Trojan
Solar AGM models. With its non-spillable design, the new Trojan Solar
AGM batteries enable installers to customize the use and position of
the batteries in customer applications, and are certified for
non-hazardous shipping per U.S. DOT/IATA regulations.

The Trojan Solar AGM line of batteries will be showcased at
Intersolar Europe this week in Munich at the Trojan Battery booth
B1.260.

"As we continue to see strong customer interest and demand in
applications such as residential storage (both off-grid and
grid-tied), solar home systems, microgrids, remote telecom, as well
as oil/gas, Trojan's new line of true deep-cycle Solar AGM batteries
has been designed from the ground up and optimized for these types of
solar applications and the need for frequent cycling in harsh
environments," said Ganesh Balasubramanian, director of new market
development for Trojan Battery. "Trojan continues to remain the only
global battery manufacturer to engineer, and produce only deep-cycle
batteries, and now we have leveraged our 90 years of deep-cycle
flooded experience into engineering and manufacturing the best
cycling AGM battery line batteries for solar applications worldwide."

The new Trojan Solar AGM battery line extends Trojan's robust
offering of maintenance-free, deep-cycle batteries specifically
designed for renewable energy applications. This battery family joins
Trojan's current Smart Carbon(TM) deep-cycle flooded batteries which
feature Trojan's proprietary carbon additive that helps reduce the
effects of Partial State of Charge (PSOC) or undercharging which is
common in renewable energy applications. Operating at PSOC on a
regular basis can quickly diminish the overall life of a battery,
which results in frequent and costly battery replacements.

"With batteries being one of the most expensive components of a
battery-based solar system, it is critical to maximize the life of
the battery bank to reduce the total cost of ownership of a system,"
said Michael Grundke, general manager of EMEA for Trojan Battery.
"Trojan's new Solar AGM line illustrates the company's commitment to
offering reliable energy storage solutions for a wide range of
renewable energy market segments. Trojan continues its focus on being
an innovative leader in the energy storage space."

Trojan's Solar battery line incorporates a wide range of advanced
technical features including a robust proprietary paste, advanced
plate design and premium separators for overall extended lifecycle,
and optimized for total cost ownership. In addition, Trojan's new
deep-cycle Solar AGM batteries are temperature tolerant, shock and
vibration resistant and have a low internal resistance for higher
discharge current and higher charging efficiency. These features make
it the ideal battery for the harsh and demanding environments of
off-grid as well as grid-connected systems with frequent cycling
needs.
