SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif., May 3, 2011 – Trojan Battery
Company, the world’s leading manufacturer of deep-cycle technology batteries, today announced that a
four-year warranty is now offered for its TransPower™ ST1000 starting AGM
battery for the commercial transportation markets. The increased warranty coverage provides
customers the lowest total cost of ownership available over the life of the battery.
“Enhancing the TransPower ST1000 warranty offers
transportation markets, such as truck and bus, the confidence of knowing that
their Trojan battery is covered by one of the most comprehensive warranties in
the industry,” said Elke Hirschman, vice president of marketing for Trojan
Battery. “Trojan AGM batteries are
designed with advanced battery technology that delivers dependable power with
long battery life. With over 85 years of
battery manufacturing experience, Trojan has become the leading supplier of
high-performance AGM batteries that offer the financial and technological
benefits required by transportation customers.”
The Trojan TransPower ST1000 is a sealed,
maintenance-free AGM 31 starting battery engineered for rugged durability,
outstanding cranking power and long life.
Design features that contribute to the overall performance and
durability of the TransPower ST1000 include an advanced paste formulation,
heavy-duty plate design and rugged 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 1000
features a high-density paste formulation which optimizes 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 gravity cast thick wire grid design, the plate
construction delivers nearly double the battery life of a standard flooded
starting battery. The heavy-duty plates
are encased in a glass mat envelope minimizing the risk of internal
shorts. Additionally, the plate design
tolerates extreme weather conditions through a wide range of operating temperatures.
Within the plate design is a grid network constructed
with thick wires which are highly resistant to corrosion which is a typical
failure mode in batteries. The wires are
arranged in a sunburst array architecture that ensures peak performance by
guiding the battery’s power to a focal point of charge resulting in 1,000 cold
cranking amps. The overall grid
framework is manufactured using a gravity cast process to produce a grid with
uniform properties throughout the framework ensuring maximum recharge
efficiency and long life.
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 including salts and magnesium chloride.
