Trojan Battery

What Trojan Battery does

Trojan Battery Company, founded in 1925 in Los Angeles and headquartered in Santa Fe Springs, California, is a manufacturer of deep cycle batteries serving seven primary end markets: golf carts and utility vehicles, aerial work platforms (AWPs), floor cleaning machines, solar and renewable energy storage, recreational vehicles, marine vessels, and material handling equipment. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of C&D Technologies, Inc., a portfolio company of KPS Capital Partners following the 2018 merger that created one of the world's largest energy storage providers. Trojan sells more than 5.5 million batteries annually across 120+ countries, supported by seven manufacturing facilities globally and a workforce of more than 3,000 employees; it received growth financing from Charlesbank Capital Partners in 2013 prior to the C&D acquisition.

The product portfolio spans four battery chemistries: traditional flooded lead acid batteries featuring proprietary T2 Technology and Alpha Plus Paste; standard absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries; advanced AES AGM technology validated at up to 1,200 cycles at 100% depth of discharge (approximately three times the cycle life of standard AGM); and a LiFePO4 OnePack lithium family launched from 2022 onward in 36V, 48V, and 72V configurations with 105Ah and 171Ah capacities (XR extended range and HP high performance variants added in 2025). Proprietary differentiators include the Maxguard T2 Separator (exclusive to Trojan), the Smart Carbon additive for partial state-of-charge applications, Cast-on-Strap manufacturing technology, and a Bluetooth-enabled SmartBattery App for real-time lithium battery monitoring. The company invests in dedicated R&D through its Santa Fe Springs Trojan Technology Center (established 1992) and an East Coast battery test lab in Sandersville, Georgia (2007), with three U.S. manufacturing facilities certified to ISO 9001:2015.

Trojan's revenue model is anchored in hardware sales of batteries and accessories distributed through a multi-tier channel: Master Distributors (regional wholesale partners including Motive Energy and Empire Batteries, both appointed in February 2026), an Authorized Dealer Network reaching SMB and consumer buyers (with more than 10,000 monthly visitors to the online dealer locator), and OEM alliances with leading manufacturers across golf, marine, AWP, and floor cleaning verticals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; warranty tiering varies materially by chemistry — 10 years for OnePack lithium with product registration, 3 years for AES AGM, 18 months for flooded lead acid, and 2 years for standard AGM — positioning a price ladder from premium lithium down to high-volume lead acid. Recurring-revenue-adjacent technical services, dealer training through the TrojanEx Partner Portal, HydroLink single-point watering systems, and the SmartBattery App layer engagement and stickiness onto the core battery business.

• Clarios: World's largest automotive and industrial battery manufacturer (formerly Johnson Controls Power Solutions). Broad incumbent with low-voltage lead-acid and emerging lithium lines that competes in adjacent motive and energy storage categories.
• Victron Energy: Global power conversion and lithium/lead-acid battery systems provider for off-grid, marine, RV, and solar. Comparable to Trojan in renewable energy storage with a broader systems-level offering (inverters, chargers, monitoring).

Emerging players

• RELION Battery: Lithium-ion battery specialist focused on deep-cycle and motive applications including golf, marine, RV, and solar. An emerging pure-play competitor attacking Trojan's verticals with a lithium-first product strategy.
• Battle Born Batteries: LiFePO4 deep-cycle battery brand targeting RVs, marine, off-grid solar, and golf carts. Emerging direct competitor in the lithium segment where Trojan's OnePack is competing for share.

Regional players
