Santa
Fe Springs, Calif. (December 8, 2010) – Trojan Battery
Company, the world’s leading manufacturer of deep cycle batteries, today
announced the introduction of its new TransPower™ ST1000, a high performance
AGM 31 heavy duty starting battery. Providing exceptional cranking power of
1000 C.C.A., Trojan’s TransPower ST1000 is built specifically for demanding
heavy duty starting applications and complements Trojan’s portfolio of high
quality, powerful AGM lead acid batteries for the heavy duty trucking market.
“We are excited to be able
to offer the heavy duty trucking market this powerful and extremely rugged
starting battery. Trojan’s TransPower ST1000 is designed precisely to meet the
high demands of heavy duty starting applications. Trucks, refrigeration units
and commercial vehicles that depend on batteries with superior cranking power
will find the TransPower ST1000 to be the highest quality AGM starting truck
battery available in the industry today,” said Elke Hirschman, vice president
of marketing for Trojan Battery.
The Trojan TransPower ST1000
is a sealed, maintenance-free AGM 31 starting battery engineered for rugged
durability, outstanding cranking power and long battery life. Design features
that contribute to the TransPower’s overall performance and durability include
an advanced paste formulation, a heavy duty plate design and polypropylene
case.
Advanced Paste Formulation
Battery
performance and longevity are influenced by the physical structure of the
active material. Delivering high cranking power requires a paste formulation
with high porosity characteristics and maximum surface area. Longer
battery life requires higher density paste characteristics. The Trojan
TransPower ST 1,000 features a high density paste formulation which optimizes
both density, porosity and surface area achieving the right balance of power
and longevity.
Heavy Duty Plate Design
The Trojan TransPower ST1000 is constructed
using a heavy duty plate design that is thicker than standard starting battery
plates. Engineered with a combination of high density paste and a thick
wire grid design, the heavy duty plate construction delivers nearly double the
battery life of a standard flooded starting battery. Within the plate
design is a grid network constructed with thick wires arranged in a sunburst
array architecture. The grid wires are thick wires that are highly
resistant to corrosion, which is a typical failure mode in batteries. The
sunburst array guides the battery’s power to a focal point of charge resulting
in 1,000 cold cranking amps. The heavy duty plate design tolerates extreme
weather conditions and high under-hood temperatures.
Rugged Polypropylene
Case
Trojan’s TransPower ST100 is packaged in a
thick-walled, durable polypropylene case that is rigid to keep the internal
components of the battery compressed. This case structure effectively
protects the plates from damage that is caused by shock and vibration. The
polypropylene case is resilient against engine oil, gasoline and other road
chemicals.
Adding the TransPower ST1000
to its product portfolio for the heavy duty trucking market, Trojan now offers
buyers the convenience of one-stop battery shopping for their heavy duty
application needs. The TransPower ST1000 comes with a 36 month warranty in
the United States and Canada and is
supported through Trojan’s global network of master distributors.
