S BENEFITS OF BUYING FROM A COMPLETE BATTERY SOLUTIONS PROVIDER

Selecting a battery for your golf or personal transportation vehicle (PTV) can be a complex and highly personal decision. That’s why it’s important to work with a complete battery solutions provider, like Trojan, who offers a full portfolio of deep-cycle batteries, including:

FLOODED-LEAD ACID BATTERIES

Still the top choice of golf and PTV owners, these batteries deliver affordability, durability, and reliability when properly maintained.

The major drawback is that they require regular watering and maintenance.

Flooded lead-acid batteries have the lowest initial purchase price, but they also have the shortest service life.

DEEP-CYCLE AGM BATTERIES

Unlike flooded lead acid, AGM batteries are maintenance free. A glass fiber mat between the plates holds the electrolyte solution in place, giving them good shock and vibration resistance and allowing for side mounting if needed.

They are a bit more expensive than flooded lead-acid but less expensive than lithium-ion.

Aes Batteries

The Trojan AES Battery is a rugged premium VRLA battery that delivers consistent, unrivaled high output and up to twice the battery life of standard AGM, especially in extreme deep-cycle, partial charging, or challenging environments.

It provides all the benefits of AGM at a similar price and these additional vital benefits:

• Longevity: Up to 2x more charging cycles than AGM ensures you can complete your job (2000-3000 cycles at 60% DoD vs 1200 cycles for AGM)

• Harsh Conditions: Robust performance in extreme temperatures and conditions.

• Harmless Partial State of Charging: Tested to withstand long-term abusive partial state of charging.

Gel Batteries

Less-common gel batteries don’t require watering or maintenance because the electrolyte is contained in a thick paste. They can be stored and mounted on their sides.

Gel batteries are more expensive than flooded lead-acid or AGM, but less expensive than lithium-ion.

LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES

Lithium-ion technology is a game-changer. Although the upfront costs are high, lithium-ion batteries offer up to 10 years of life, reducing the total cost of ownership over traditional batteries during their lifetime.

These maintenance-free batteries charge fast and reduce downtime. They deliver the longest range of the four technologies with steady power regardless of the state of charge. And they weigh up to 300 pounds less than other types of batteries, reducing wear and tear on your vehicle.
