CUSTOMER BENEFIT

128 minutes @ 56 AMP draw

117 minutes @ 56 AMP draw

More Reserve CAPACITY! How?

64 lb. Weight

59.5 lb. Weight         

MORE LEAD means more capacity

15 plates per cell

13 plates per cell   

Easier to water, ¾“ more margin for error in getting the water level correct. Water less often!

5% Antinium Alloy Blend

4% Antimony Trojan Alloy (Reduced from 6%)       

Antinium has grain, minimizes grid corrosion, extends plate life. More efficient charging due to improved gassing performance.

NEW Diamond Plate Xtreme Capacity2 Technology Paste

Trojan uses T2, but not enough to increase the 20 HR Rate!

Proprietary formula uses synthetic tetrabasic lead sulfate, ensures uniform chrystal size, higher conversion efficiency and capacity, PLUS:

  • Higher peak capacity, improved cycle life
  • Improved energy density (watt-hours/Liter), and specific energy (watt-hrs/Kilo)
  • Enhanced recharge-ability; costs less to charge, especially in cold temperatures.
  • Fortified plate construction improved; stronger crystal network, decreased shedding of positive plate

Chrystalock plate curing

Alpha Plus plate curing

Optimized crystalline structure, TTBLS paste for extra life. Trojan’s alpha lead dioxide is formed with high temperature or high pH, neither of which results in any advantage.

Amerace Rubber Seperator

Cell Force Separator

Recent cost-down for Trojan. Allows antimony migration, over-charging and water loss

Hand welded Buss bars and plate connections

Cast-On-Strap (COS)

Recent cost-down for Trojan. Less reliable top lead.
