EnerSys rebrands Odyssey Extreme Series batteries
Odyssey Extreme Series batteries are designed for demanding applications, such as emergency response vehicles and transit buses. The pulse-hot cranking amps, CCA and RC ratings are substantially higher than those of conventional automotive batteries.
Interstate Batteries introduces next-gen battery technology
According to Interstate Batteries, deep-cycling performance, faster recharging and stronger starting are the attributes of its new 31-AGM7 extreme absorbed glass-mat commercial line battery.
TRP batteries made for extreme conditions
TRP said its starting batteries offer up to 1,150 CCAs for harsh winter conditions and as low as 650 CCAs for hot weather, while its AGM batteries feature a greater repetitive reserve capacity, allowing the battery to be completely drained and fully recharged more often. TRP dual-purpose batteries have heavier, thicker plates so the batteries discharge and recharge frequently, the maker added.
