Trojan licenses bi-polar technology

"The advantages of bi-polar battery architecture include higher energy and power density and lower manufacturing costs than conventional AGM battery construction, which promotes more stable performance over the lifetime of the battery," said Michael Everett, senior vice president of engineering for Trojan Battery.

"Trojan will begin exploring integration of its own proprietary technology layered with the licensed technology from ABC to produce a battery with superior value compared to anything else on the market today."

The licensing deal is for ABC's GreenSeal technology, which is a new method to manufacture Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries. This technology offers several advantages, including an improved vibration durability, greater cycle-life performance and a simplified approach to higher voltage applications.
